lirik lagu in the sweet by and by – alabama

in the sweet by and by

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 sh-r-;
in the sweet by and by,
we shall meet on that beautiful sh-r-.

we shall sing on that beautiful sh-r-
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.

[refrain]
