We shall reach the summer land
Some sweet day
by and by;
We shall press the golden strand
Some sweet day
by and by;
Oh
the loved ones watching there
By the tree of life so fair
Till we come their joy to share
Some sweet day
by and by.
By and by
some sweet day
We shall meet our loved ones gone
Some sweet day
by and by.
At the crystal river’s brink
Some sweet day
by and by;
We shall find each broken link
Some sweet day
by and by;
Then the star that
fading here
Left our hearts and homes so drear
We shall see more bright and clear
Some sweet day
by and by.
Oh
these parting scenes will end
Some sweet day
by and by;
We shall gather friend with friend
Some sweet day
by and by;
There before our Father’s throne
When the mists and clouds have flown
We shall know as we are known
Some sweet day
by and by.
