Lyics

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.--CHO.



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 blest,

And our spirits shall sorrow no more,

Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.--CHO.



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.--CHO.
