1 When all around is dreary
There’s a thought that keeps me cheery,
Jesus is coming by and by;
I look beyond my sorrow,
Unto the bright tomorrow
Of His coming, His coming by and by.
Refrain:
Jesus is coming by and by, by and by;
Coming, yes, He’s coming by and by;
We’ll be caught up to meet Him
In the twinkling of an eye;
At His coming, His coming by and by.
2 There will be no more sadness,
It will all be turned to gladness,
Never a dark and cloudy sky;
No more on sick beds lying,
No more the dread of dying,
At His coming, His coming by and by. [Refrain]
3 All doubts shall then have vanished,
And all sorrow shall be banished,
Never a tear will dim the eye.
No sighing and no weeping,
No Jordan’s river sweeping,
At His coming, His coming by and by. [Refrain]
