Representative Text

1 This world will be blessed by and by,
By our faith we can see it afar;
For our Father has said by his word,
He'll prepare us inheritance here.

Refrain:
In the sweet by and by,
We'll inherit this beautiful world,
In the sweet by and by,
We'll inherit this beautiful world.

2 No ravenous beasts will be there,
Neither briar nor thron will be found;
For the Spirit of God will be giv'n,
And his knowledge be spread all around. [Refrain]

3 We will sing in this beautiful world
The glorious song of the Lamb;
Clad in white, walk the streets of pure gold,
In the light of our Father, "I am." [Refrain]

4 To our bounteous Father above
We will render our tribute of praise
For this glorious gift of his love,
And the gospel of these latter days. [Refrain]
