S. Fillmore Bennett, music by Joseph P. Webster
There's a land that is fairer than day
And by faith we can see it apart
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 blest
And our spirit shall sorrow no more
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest
To our bountiful Father above
We shall 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
