IN THE SWEET BY AND BY
by Sanford F Bennett
and
Joseph P Webster

Verse 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(in the sweet) by and by,(by and by)
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;(by and by)
In the sweet (in the sweet) by and by,(by and by)
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

Verse 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.

Chorus:

Verse 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.

Chorus.

By and By when the morning comes
when all the saints of our God will gather home
we will tell the story of how we overcome and we'll understand it better by and by

Just in case you would like the lyrics to a different hymn.. here they are.

WE'LL UNDERSTAND IT BETTER BY AND BY
words & music by Charles A Tindley

Verse 1
We are often tossed and driven
on the restless sea of time,
Somber skies and howling tempests
oft succeed a bright sunshine,
In that land of perfect day,
when the mists have rolled away,
We will understand it better by and by

Chorus:
By and by, when the morning comes,
All the saints of God are gathered home,
We'll tell the story how we've overcome,
For we'll understand it better by and by.

Verse 2
We are often destitute
of the things that life demands,
Want of food and want of shelter,
thirsty hills and barren lands,
We are trusting in the Lord,
and according to His word,
We will understand it better by and by.

Chorus

Verse 3
Trials dark on every hand,
and we cannot understand,
All the ways that God would lead us
to that blessed Promised Land;
But He guides us with His eye
and we'll follow till we die,
For we'll understand it better by and by.

Chorus:

Verse 4
Temptations, hidden snares
often take us unawares,
And our hearts are made to bleed
for a thoughtless word or deed,
And we wonder why the test
when we try to do our best,
But we'll understand it better by and by.

Chorus
