Verse 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. Verse 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 blessings of rest. Verse 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.
