1. There's a land that is fairer than day,
                                 G
     and by faith we can see it afar,
             C           F         C
    for the Father waits over the way,
                      G              C
    to prepare us a dwelling place there.

2. We shall sing on that beautiful shore
                                 G
    the melodious songs of the blessed,
             C             F         C
    and our spirits shall sorrow no more,
                        G           C
    not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

          C          G            G7                       C

3. To our bountiful Father above,
                                   G
    we will offer our tribute of praise,
              C       F           C
    for the glorious gift of His love,
                            G          C
    and his blessings that hallow our days. And …

In the sweet by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore.
