Hymn Chords

428. Sweet By and By

Bb                     Eb          Bb
There’s a land that is fairer than day,

Bb                           F
And by faith we can see it a-far;

Bb                   Eb       Bb
For the Father waits over the way

Bb              Eb    F         Bb
To prepare us a dwell-ing place there.

Bb                  F
In the sweet by and by,

F        F7                     Bb
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;

Bb                  Eb
In the sweet by and by

Eb       Bb           F7        Bb
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.
