Tho we have our troubles in this world below,
And some times our hearts are made to sigh;
We are pressing onward for we surely know
There’s a good time coming by and by.

Chorus:

There’s a good time coming by and by,
When we meet our loved ones in the sky;
There to live together, never more to die,
There’s a good time coming by and by.

When I think about the many mansions there,
Then I look across with longing eye;
To the heav’nly portals shining bright and fair,
There’s a good time coming by and by.

(Chorus)

I am striving to be ready for that day,
And I know the time is drawing nigh;
When the Lord will come to take the saved away,
There’s a good time coming by and by.

(Chorus)
