there's a land that is fairer than day

and by faith we can see it apart

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

to a wonderful father above

we shall offer our tribute of praise

for the glory as gift of his love

and the blessings that hallow our days

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 meet on that beautiful shore
