[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 [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 2] We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blessed And our spirits shall sorrow no more Not a sigh for the blessing of rest [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus]
