There’s a beau­tiful day that is not far away,
When His glo­ry shall bright­en the sky;
For the Sav­ior will come
From His hea­ven­ly home,
On that beau­ti­ful day by and by.

Refrain

He is com­ing by and by,
He is com­ing by and by,
O, what rap­ture ’twill be,
When our Sav­ior we see,
On that beau­ti­ful day by and by.

When the King shall ap­pear,
He will ban­ish our fear,
And the time of His com­ing draws nigh;
He will come for His bride,
O’er the world scat­tered wide,
On that beau­ti­ful day by and by.

Refrain

They that rest in the tomb
Shall arise from its gloom,
And be caught up to meet Him on high;
Free from sor­row and pain,
With the Sav­ior to reign,
On that beau­ti­ful day by and by.

Refrain

Let us la­bor and wait,
He is now at the gate,
For the signs of that day mul­ti­ply.
We shall reap our re­ward,
When we see our dear Lord,
On that beau­ti­ful day by and by.
