There’s a land that is fairer than day

by Sanford Fillmore Bennett

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 428.

Verse 1

There’s a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it afar; For the Father waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there.

Refrain

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

Verse 2

We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blest, And our spirits shall sorrow no more Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

Verse 3

To our bountiful father above We will offer our tribute of praise; For the glorious gift of His love And the blessings that hallow our days.
