In the Sweet By and By

In the Sweet By and By - Emer McPartland

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

We shall sing on that beautiful shore

For the melodious songs of the blessed

And our spirits shall sorrow no more

Not a sight for the blessing of rest

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 bountiful father above

We shall offer our tribute of praise

For the glory as gift of his love

And the blessing that howlered 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
