The Sweet By-and-by - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE SWEET BY-AND-BY. 
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. 
We 6hall 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.-Chorus. 
To our bountiful Father above We will offer the tribute of praise, For the glorious gift of his love And the blessings that hallow our days.-Chorus. 
We shall rest on that beautiful shore-In the joys of the saved we shall share: All our pilgrimage-toil will be o'er, And the conqueror's crown we shall wear.-Chorus. 
We shall meet, we shall sing, we shall reign In the land where the saved never die; We shall rest free from sorrow and pain, Safe at home in the sweet by-and-by.-Chorus.
