THERES A LAND THAT IS FAIRER

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, in the sweet by and by

we shall meet on that beautiful shore; by and by;

in the sweet by and by, in the sweet 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.




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
