In the Happy By and By

There’s a ci­ty

bright and glo­ri­ous

Far be­yond the az­ure sky

Where with Christ we’ll dwell vic­tor­ious

In the hap­py by and by.

Peace we’ll share be­yond all mea­sure

Where no tears can dim the eye;

Freedom

life

and end­less plea­sure

In the hap­py by and by.

Earthly ties and hopes are blight­ed

By the sum­mons from on high

But we shall be re­unit­ed

In the hap­py by and by.

Sin and death can en­ter nev­er

Not a sor­row or a sigh;

Joy shall be our por­tion ev­er

In the hap­py by and by.

Endless prais­es there are ring­ing

Christ the Lord to glo­ri­fy

And we’ll join the an­gels sing­ing

In the hap­py by and by.
