Representative Text

1 There will be a bright tomorrow,
When the storms of life are o’er,
There will be no care or sorrow
On the blest eternal shore.

Refrain:
In that land there’ll be no sorrow,
And no tears will dim the eye,
But there’ll be a bright tomorrow,
In the golden by and by.

2 Oh, to be at home with Jesus,
Where no tears will dim the eye,
But to spend the countless ages,
In the golden by and by. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ this life is often lonely,
Yet with Jesus for a guide,
I will bear my cross with patience
Till I reach the river side. [Refrain]

4 And I know that He will meet me
When death’s shadows round me lie,
And will give me life eternal
In the golden by and by. [Refrain]

5 Oh, no matter when He calls me,
May I be prepared to go
To that land of life eternal
Where no tears will ever flow. [Refrain]

6 And I know that over yonder,
In the mansions in the sky
Angel songs will bid me welcome
To the golden by and by. [Refrain]
