Porter Wagoner - In The Sweet By And By lyrics

IN THE SWEET BY AND BY

Writer Samuel Fillmore Bennett

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 blest,

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.

Refrain:
