Sweet By And By

Sanford F. Bennet’s

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.

Refrain
in the sweet by and by
we shall meet o 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 blest
And our spirit shall sorrow no more
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest

Verse 3
To our bountiful Father above
We will offer our tribute of praises
For the glorious gift of his love
And the blessing that hallow our days
