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 in the sweet By and by by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore; In the sweet in the sweet By and by 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. 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.
