In the Sweet By And By
Discovering Eternal Beauty: "In the Sweet By And By
Lyrics
There's a land that is fairer than day
There is a land that is more beautiful than day.
And by faith we can see it afar
Through faith, we can envision this land from a distance.
For the Father waits over the way
The Father is waiting on the other side.
To prepare us a dwelling place there
He is preparing a dwelling place for us there.
In the sweet by and by (by and by)
In the sweet future, we shall meet there.
We shall meet on that beautiful shore (by and by)
We will reunite on that beautiful shore.
In the sweet by and by (by and by)
Again, in the sweet future, we shall meet.
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
Reiteration of the expectation to meet on that beautiful shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
We will sing on that beautiful shore.
The melodious songs of the blessed
Singing melodious songs of the blessed.
And our spirit shall sorrow no more
Our spirits will no longer experience sorrow.
Not a sign for the blessing of rest
No signs of distress, only the blessing of rest.
In the sweet by and by (by and by)
Once again, in the sweet future, we shall meet.
We shall meet on that beautiful shore (by and by)
Anticipation of a meeting on that beautiful shore.
In the sweet by and by (by and by)
Reiteration of the expectation to meet in the sweet future.
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
Expectation of a reunion on that beautiful shore.
To our bountiful Father above
We will offer praise to our generous Father above.
We will offer our tribute of praise
This praise is a tribute to Him.
For the glorious gift of His love
Gratitude for the glorious gift of His love.
And the blessings that hallow our days
Acknowledgment of the blessings that sanctify our days.
In the sweet by and by (by and by)
Once again, in the sweet future, we shall meet.
We shall meet on that beautiful shore (by and by)
Anticipation of a meeting on that beautiful shore.
In the sweet by and by (by and by)
Reiteration of the expectation to meet in the sweet future.
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
Expectation of a reunion on that beautiful shore.
