Sweet By and By[1]

(Pat's Pick, page 84.)1 Sharp

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.

Chorus—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 blessings of rest.—Cho.

To our bountiful Father above,
 We will offer our tribute of praise,
For the glorious gifts of His love,
 And the blessings that hallow our days.—Cho.
