In the Sweet By and By

Porter Wagoner

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 in the sweet
By and by by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet in the sweet
By and by 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 spirits shall sorrow no more
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
Refrain:
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.
