C            F           C
There's a land that is fairer than day,
                             G
And by faith we can see it afar,
        C            F          C
For the Father waits over the way
                 G               C
To prepare us a dwelling place there.


[Chorus]

        C           G
In the sweet by and by,
         G7                     C
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
       C7           F
In the sweet by and by,
         C            G         C
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.


[Verse 2]

         C            F         C
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
                           G
The melodious songs of the blessed;
        C             F         C
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
                   G           C
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.


[Chorus]

       C            G
In the sweet by and by,
         G7                     C
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
       C7           F
In the sweet by and by,
         C            G         C
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.


[Verse 3]

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


[Chorus]

       C            G
In the sweet by and by,
         G7                     C
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
       C7           F
In the sweet by and by,
         C            G         C
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
