12829. The Sure By And By

1 There shall be no more tears,
No weeping evermore,
But end of earthly fears,
On that celestial shore.

Refrain:
Over there, may we meet,
Over there, you and I,
All our loved ones to greet,
In the sure by and by.

2 There shall be no more sighs,
No death nor sickness there,
No mournful heavy eyes,
Within those mansions fair. [Refrain]

3 There shall be no more pain,
No moanings, nor distress.
With everlasting gain,
Shall God His people bless. [Refrain]
