Sweet By and By

There's a land that is fairer than day

S. Fillmore Bennett · 9.9.9.9 with refrain

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.

2.We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blest;
And our spirit shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessings of rest.

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.

RefrainIn 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.
