1 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.
2 We shall sing on that beautiful shore
the melodious songs of the blest;
and our spirits shall sorrow no more-
not a sigh for the blessing of rest. [Refrain]
3 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]
