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
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
The melodious songs of the blessed
And our spirits shall sorrow no more
Not a sigh 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 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
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

As recorded by ANITA KERR:
In the sweet (In the sweet) by and by (by and by)
We shall meet on that beautiful shore (by and by)
In the sweet (In the sweet) by and by (by and by)
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
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
In the sweet (In the sweet) by and by (by and by)
We shall meet on that beautiful shore (by and by)
In the sweet (In the sweet) by and by (by and by)
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
(Orchestral Interlude)
To our bountiful Father above (To our bountiful Father above)
We will offer the tribute of praise (We will offer the tribute of praise)
For the glorious gift of His love (For the glorious gift of his love)
And the blessings that hallow our days (And the blessings that hallow our 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
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
