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
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
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blessed
And our spirits shall sorrow no more (no, no, no more)
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest
Repeat Chorus
That shore, that shore
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
To our bountiful Father above
We will offer our tribute of praise
For the glorious gift, the gift of His love
And the blessings that hallow our days
Repeat Chorus
On that shore, on that shore
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
