Our Re­deem­er has gone to pre­pare us a home,
But He’ll come (yes, He’ll come), by and by (by and by);
E’er ob­ey­ing and trust­ing, we ne­ver shall roam,
But with glad­ness rise to meet Him in the sky.

Refrain

He will come, He will come,
Christ, the won­der­ful Sav­ior of men;
From un­right­eous­ness free, let us rea­dy then be,
Our Re­deem­er’s com­ing back to earth again.

If we’re faith­ful to Je­sus, we’ll know end­less joy,
When He comes (when He comes) by and by (by and by);
And He’ll take us to Hea­ven where naught can an­noy,
With the ran­somed ones His name to glo­ri­fy.

Refrain

May we faith­ful­ly serve Him, be loy­al each day,
Till He come (till He come) by and by (by and by);
And be wait­ing to wel­come and join Him al­way,
For we know His won­drous com­ing now is nigh.

Refrain
