In The Sweet By And By

            In The Sweet By And By




            There's a land that is fairer than day,
            And by faith we can see it afar;
            For the Father waits over the way
            To prepare us a dwelling place there.

            Refrain

            In the sweet by and by,
            We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
            In the sweet by and by,
            We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

            We shall sing on that beautiful shore
            The melodious songs of the blessed;
            And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
            Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

            Refrain

            To our bountiful Father above,
            We will offer our tribute of praise
            For the glorious gift of His love
            And the blessings that hallow our days.

            Refrain
