By and By (Ogdon)

When our jour­ney shall be o’er

And we lay our bur­dens down

At the gate that stands ajar be­yond the sky

When the saints are press­ing home

On the re­sur­rect­ion morn

Tell me

bro­ther

will you meet me

by and by?

By and by

by and by

Will you meet me in the morn­ing by and by?

From the cleft in yon­der Rock

Flows a cleans­ing

liv­ing stream;

Will you come and share its full and free sup­ply?

Will you wear a sno­wy robe

On that fair and fade­less day

Shall we meet in life eter­nal

by and by?

Will you meet with friends again?

Will you hear your Sav­ior’s voice

Bid you wel­come to His Fa­ther’s home on high?

Will you join the vic­tor’s song

As it ech­oes round the throne

On that re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing

by and by?
