By and By (Blackall)

The prize is set be­fore us

To win

His words im­plore us

The eye of God is o’er us

From on high (from on high);

His lov­ing tones are call­ing

While sin is dark

ap­pall­ing

’Tis Je­sus gent­ly call­ing

He is nigh (He is nigh).

By and by we shall meet Him

By and by we shall greet Him

And with Je­sus reign in glo­ry

By and by (by and by);

By and by we shall meet Him

By and by we shall greet Him

And with Je­sus reign in glo­ry

By and by.

We’ll follow where He lead­eth

We’ll pas­ture where He feed­eth

We’ll yield to Him who plead­eth

From on high (from on high);

Then naught from Him shall sev­er

Our hope shall bright­en ev­er

And faith shall fail us nev­er

He is nigh (He is nigh).

Our home is bright above us

No tri­als dark to move us

But Je­sus dear to love us

There on high (there on high);

We’ll give Him best en­dea­vor

And praise His name for­ev­er;

His pre­cious words can nev­er

Never die (nev­er die).
