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 his blessings that hallow our days. And       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.
