Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

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 (sung at the ending)

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
