First Line: There's a land that is fairer than day,

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.

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.

3 To our bountiful Father above
We will offer the tribute of praise,
For the glorious gift of His love,
And the blessings that hallow our days.
