In the Sweet By and By 

A Christian hymn with lyrics by  Sanford F. Bennett, 1868  and music by Joseph P. Webster.

 

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.

2. We shall sing on that beautiful shore

   The melodious songs of the blessed;

   And our spirits shall sorrow no more,

   Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

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.

Mr. Web­ster, like many mu­si­cians, was of an ex­ceed­ing­ly ner­vous and sens­i­tive na­ture, and sub­ject to per­i­ods of de­pres­sion, in which he looked up­on the dark side of all things in life.

 

I had learned his pe­cul­i­ar­i­ties so well that on meet­ing him I could tell at a glance if he was mel­an­cho­ly, and had found that I could rouse him up by giv­ing him a new song to work on.

 

He came in­to my place of bus­i­ness [in Elk­horn, Wis­con­sin], walked down to the stove, and turned his back on me with­out speak­ing. I was at my desk. Turning to him, I said, Web­ster, what is the mat­ter now? It’s no mat­ter, he re­plied, it will be all right by and by.

 

The idea of the hymn came me like a flash of sun­light, and I re­plied, The Sweet By and By! Why would not that make a good hymn? May­be it would, he said in­dif­fer­ent­ly.

 

Turn­ing to my desk I penned the words of the hymn as fast as I could write. I hand­ed the words to Web­ster. As he read his eyes kin­dled, and step­ping to the desk he be­gan writ­ing the notes.

 

Tak­ing his vi­o­lin, he played the me­lo­dy and then jot­ted down the notes of the cho­rus. It was not ov­er thir­ty min­utes from the time I took my pen to write the words be­fore two friends with Web­ster and my­self were sing­ing the hymn.

In the Sweet By and By   606장

해보다 더 밝은 저 천국

그 성은 해나 달의 비침이 쓸 데 없으니 - ​계 21:23

 

 

There's a land that is fairer than day

해 보다 더 밝은 저 천국

And by faith we can see it apart

믿음만 가지고 가겠네

For the father waits over the way

믿는 자 위하여 있을 곳

To prepare us a dwelling place there

우리 주 예비해 두셨네

In the sweet by and by

며칠 후 며칠 후

We shall meet on that beautiful shore

요단 강 건너 가 만나리

In the sweet by and by

며칠 후 며칠 후

We shall meet on that beautiful shore

요단강 건너 가 만나리

 

We shall sing on that beau-ti-ful shore

찬란한 주의 빛 있으니

The me-lo-di-ous songs of the blest,

거기는 어두움 없도다

And our spir-its shall sor-row no more,

우리들 거기서 만날 때

Not a sigh for the bless-ing of rest.

기쁜 낯 서로가 대하리

 

We shall meet those we lost long a-go

이 세상 작별한 성도들

When we rise to re-ceive our re-ward,

하늘에 올라가 만날 때

Tears of part-ing no long-er to know,

인간의 괴롬이 끝나고

Nei-ther grief, on-ly joy in the Lord.

이별의 눈물이 없겠네

 

To our boun-ti-ful Fa-ther a-bove

광명한 하늘에 계신 주

We will of-fer the trib-ute of praise,

우리도 모시고 살겠네

For the glo-ri-ous gift of His love,

성도들 즐거운 노래로

And the bless-ings that hal-low our days.

영광을 주 앞에 돌리리
