A 

          A            D           A 
There's a land that is fairer than day,  
                            E  E7 
And by faith we can see it afar;  
        A            D        A 
For the Father waits over the way  
                E7             A 
To prepare us a dwelling place there.  

       A            E 
In the sweet by and by,  
         E7           E         A 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;  
       A7           D 
In the sweet by and by,  
         A            E7        A 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.  

         A            D         A 
We shall sing on that beautiful shore  
                           E      E7 
The melodious songs of the blessed;  
        A             D         A 
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,  
                   E7          A 
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.  

       A            E 
In the sweet by and by,  
         E7           E         A 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;  
       A7           D 
In the sweet by and by,  
         A            E7        A 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.  

       A         D       A 
To our bountiful Father above,  
                             E     E7 
We will offer our tribute of praise  
        A        D           A 
For the glorious gift of His love  
                       E7         A 
And the blessings that hallow our days.  

       A            E 
In the sweet by and by,  
         E7           E         A 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;  
       A7           D 
In the sweet by and by,  
         A            E7        A 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
