Hymn Chords

428. Sweet By and By

G                      C           G
There’s a land that is fairer than day,

G                            D
And by faith we can see it a-far;

G                    C        G
For the Father waits over the way

G               C     D         G
To prepare us a dwell-ing place there.

G                   D
In the sweet by and by,

D        D7                     G
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;

G                   C
In the sweet by and by

C        G            D7        G
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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.

[Refrain]
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.

[Verse 2]
We shall 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.

[Verse 3]
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.
