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

In the sweet (in the sweet) by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet (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 blessings of rest

In the sweet (in the sweet) by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet (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 God's love
And the blessings that hallow our days

In the sweet (in the sweet) by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet (in the sweet) by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore

By and by
When the morning comes
When the saints have gone and gathered home
We will tell the story how we've overcome
And we'll understand it better by and by
By and by
