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. 



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. 



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. 



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. 



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.
