  *++Lyrics:|\\
We shall meet beyond the river,\\
By and by,\\
And the darkness will be over,\\
By and by:\\
With the toilsome journey done,\\
And the glorious battle won,\\
We shall shine forth as the sun,\\
By and by.\\
\\
We shall wake the harps of glory,\\
By and by:\\
We shall sing the "old, old story",\\
By and by:\\
And the strains, forevermore,\\
Shall be wafted o'er and o'er\\
Yonder everlasting shore,\\
By and by.\\
\\
We shall rest from tribulation,\\
By and by:\\
And from labor and temptation,\\
By and by:\\
Then these worn and weary feet\\
Shall walk on the golden street;\\
Old companions we shall greet,\\
By and by.\\
\\
We shall rise from death victorious,\\
By and by:\\
And receive a crown all glorious,\\
By and by:\\
All the storms and billows passed,\\
And the anchor safely cast,\\
We shall meet in Heaven at last,\\
By and by.\\
\\
