Still listening to a gospel music album featuring Willie Nelson and his sister Bobbie.
We sing this one at the old folks’ home as well.
The lyrics.
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.
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]
3
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]
Lyrics: Sanford Fillmore Bennett
Tune: There’s a land that is fairer than day;
Composer: Joseph Philbrick Webster
