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.

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.

(Sweet By and By; written by Sanford F. Bennett, 1836-1898 and Joseph P. Webster, 1819-1875)
