Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

There's a Land that is Brighter than Day 

And by Faith we can see it a far

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 shall Sing on that Beautiful Shore,

The Melodious Songs of the Blessed

And our Spirit 

Shall sorrow no more!

Not a sigh for the Blessing of Rest. 


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
