There's a land that is fairer than day
And by faith we can see it apart
For the father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place thereIn the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shoreWe 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 restIn the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shoreTo our bountiful father above
We will offer our tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His love
And His blessings that hallow our daysIn 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
