HYMN 699

(FE 725) 9S
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard the 
things which God hath prepareth for 
them that love him" - 1Cor. 2:9



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.

Chorus: In the sweet-by and by

             We shall meet on that 

            beautiful shore - 2ce


2.  We shall sing on that beautiful shore 

     The melodious songs of the blessed 

     And our spirits shall sorrow no more 

    Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

Chorus: In the sweet-by and by...


3.  To our beautiful fathers above

     We will offer the tribute of praisa 

     For the glorious gift of His love,

     And the blessings that hallow our day.

Chorus: In the sweet-by and by...


4.  Let light perpetual shine on our paths

     Since the fold of Cherubim is here

     That all mankind may change from their past 

     To give Christ the Lord respect sincere.

Chorus: In the sweet-by and by...


5.   When in this earthbound flesh made of dust 

      When our foes are set to do us harm

      When ones heart are all of impure thoughts 

      May Johovah listen to our cries.

Chorus: In the sweet-by and by...


6.  And when the last day shall come to pass 

     When a son his father will not know 

     Please don‘t let us be ashamed that day

     May we access eternal abode.

Chorus: In the sweet-by and by

             We shall meet on that 

            beautiful shore - 2ce  Amen
