[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.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
To our beautiful Father above,
We will offer the tribute of praise,
For the glorious gift of his love,
And the blessings that hallow our days!

[Refrain]

[Instrumental -- Verse & Refrain]

[Verse 1 - Reprise]
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]
