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.
Chorus:
In the sweet (in the sweet) by and by (by
and by),
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet (in the sweet) by and by (by
and by),
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
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.
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.
有一地比日中更光彩，
虽遥远我因信望得见；
我天父在那地常等待，
早为我备安宅於里面。
副歌：
到日期， 我乐意，
同众圣相聚在美地；
到日期， 我乐意，
同众圣相聚在美地。
到美地我必随那众圣，
声和谐歌新诗赞颂主；
心快乐得永远之生命，
再无惧也无忧更无苦。
我圣父在高天何慈爱，
将至尊独生子降于世；
开福源一直留至万代，
我终身要赞美无休止。
