Some Sweet Day, By and By

Verse 1

We shall reach the summer land, Some sweet day, by and by; We shall press the golden strand, Some sweet day, by and by; O the loving welcome there, By the tree of life so fair! How we long that joy to share, Some sweet day, by and by.

Chorus

By and by, Some sweet day, We shall meet our lov'd ones gone, Some sweet day, by and by.

Verse 2

At the crystal river's brink, Some sweet day, by and by; We shall find each broken link, Some sweet day, by and by; Then the star that, fading here, Left our hearts and homes so drear, We shall see more bright and clear, Some sweet day, by and by.

Verse 3

Oh, these parting scenes will end, Some sweet day, by and by; We shall gather friend with friend, Some sweet day, by and by; There before our Father's throne, When the mists and clouds have flown, We shall know as we are known, Some sweet day, by and by.
