Sweet By and By

In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2

Verse One:

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.

In the sweet by and by,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

Verse Two:

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.

Verse Three:

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.

This is an old hymn written by Joseph P. Webster and Sanford F. Bennett in 1868.
