There's a la[C]nd that is fa[F]irer than da[C]y,
And by faith we can see it af[G]ar,
For the [C]Father waits [F]over the wa[C]y
To prepare us a d[G]welling place th[C]ere.
(Chorus)
In the s[C]weet by and [G]by,
We shall [G7]meet on that beautiful [C]shore;
In the [C7]sweet by and [F]by,
We shall [C]meet on that [G]beautiful [C]shore.
(Verse 2)
We shall s[C]ing on that b[F]eautiful s[C]hore
The melodious songs of the [G]blessed;
And our [C]spirits shall [F]sorrow no [C]more,
Not a sigh for the [G]blessing of [C]rest.
(Chorus)
In the s[C]weet by and b[G]y,
We shall [G7]meet on that beautiful [C]shore;
In the [C7]sweet by and [F]by,
We shall [C]meet on that [G]beautiful [C]shore.
(Verse 3)
To our b[C]ountiful F[F]ather ab[C]ove,
We will offer our tribute of pra[G]ise
For the [C]glorious [F]gift of His [C]love
And the blessings that [G]hallow our d[C]ays.
(Chorus)
In the s[C]weet by and b[G]y,
We shall [G7]meet on that beautiful [C]shore;
In the [C7]sweet by and [F]by,
We shall [C]meet on that [G]beautiful [C]shore.
