By and By (Crosby)

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1876
Composer: Bentley Ackley, 1915

We shall all clasp hands in glo­ry by and by;

We shall tell re­demp­tion’s sto­ry by and by;

When the voy­age of life is past

We shall reach the port at last

And our an­chor safe­ly cast by and by.

By and by

by and by

We shall all clasp hands in glo­ry by and by.

We shall see our Sav­ior’s face

And adore His won­drous grace

We shall feel His fond em­brace by and by.

We shall wake no more to sor­row by and by;

In the smile of end­less mor­row by and by;

Where our faith is lost in sight

Where the Sav­ior is the light

We shall walk with Him in white by and by.

We shall cross the si­lent riv­er by and by;

We shall rest and dwell to­ge­ther by and by;

Palms of vic­to­ry we shall bear

In that cloud­less re­gion fair

And we’ll know each oth­er there by and by.

We shall join the an­gel chor­us by and by

With the dear ones gone be­fore us by and by;

In that realm of per­fect day

Where the sil­ver fount­ains play

God will wipe all tears away by and by.
