In the Sweet By and By

Verse 1
There’s a land that is fair­er than day,
And by faith we can see it afar; (Heb. 11:13-16)
For the Fa­ther waits ov­er the way
To pre­pare us a dwell­ing place there. (Matt. 25:34, John 14:2-3)

Chorus
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.

Verse 2
We shall sing on that beau­ti­ful shore
The me­lo­di­ous songs of the blessed;
And our spir­its shall sor­row no more, (Isa. 35:10, Isa. 51:11, Rev. 21:4)
Not a sigh for the bless­ing of rest. (Rev. 14:3)

Verse 3
To our boun­ti­ful Fa­ther ab­ove,
We will of­fer our trib­ute of praise (Jer. 17:26, Jer. 33:11, Heb. 13:15)
For the glo­ri­ous gift of His love
And the bless­ings that hal­low our days.
