Lyrics

[Verse 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

[Verse 2]

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 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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 5]

Oh, there's a land that is fairer than day

And by faith, we can see it afar

For the Savior waits over the way

To prepare us a dwelling place there

[Verse 6]

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 7]

In the sweet by and by

In the sweet by and by
