In the Sweet By and By - classic Gospel

In the Sweet By and By is a Christian hymn with lyrics by S. Fillmore Bennett and music by Joseph P. Webster. Published 1868

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.

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.

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.

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.
