Author: S. Fillmore Bennett Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1353 (1886) First Line: There's a land that is fairer than day Lyrics: 1 There's a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar;
For our Father waits over the way,
To prepare us a dwelling place there.
Chorus:
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. [Chorus]
3 To our bountiful Father above
We will offer a tribute of praise,
For the glorious gift of his love,
And the blessings that hallow our days. [Chorus]
