553. Sweet By and By

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 by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet 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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
