The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7886

7886. By And By

1 There will be no sin nor pain
By and by, by and by;
All that’s dark will be made plain
By and by, by and by;
For the Lord will come again,
Oh, how glorious His reign!
Like the sunshine after rain,
By and by, by and by.

Refrain:
By and by, by and by,
With our loved ones we shall meet,
And the story oft repeat,
Cast our crowns at Jesus’ feet,
By and by, by and by.

2 Then life’s lessons we shall learn
By and by, by and by;
Jesus’ words we shall discern
By and by, by and by;
He will banish every sigh,
Let us lift our heads on high;
Our redemption draweth nigh,
By and by, by and by. [Refrain]

3 We shall see Him eye to eye
By and by, by and by;
We shall meet Him in the sky
By and by, by and by;
We shall hear His tender tone,
We shall be no more alone;
He is coming to His own
By and by, by and by. [Refrain]
