O'er the cold and chilly blast, By and by, by and by ! We shall gather home at last, By and by, by and by ! Far beyond the stormy gale, Anchored safe within the vail, We shall furl our shattered sail, By and by, by and by !
2. We shall see our Saviour's face By and by, by and by ! We shall sing redeeming grace, By and by, by and by ! Where the rose and lily grow, Where our tears shall cease to flow, Oh, the joy that we shall know By and by, by and by !
3. In the golden fields above, By and by, by and by ! We shall meet the friends we love, By and by, by and by ! On that pure and fragrant shore All our trials will be o'er, We shall say farewell no more By and by, by and by !
