Coming By and By. (Pat's Pick, page 56.) 1 Sharp. A better day is coming, A morning' promised long, When girded right with holy Might Will overthrow the wrong; When God the Lord will listen To every plaintive sigh, And stretch his hand O'er every land, With justice by and by. Refr'n —Coming by and by, coming by and by, The better day is coming, The morning draweth nighj Coming by and by, coming by and by, , The welcome dawn will hasten on, 'Tis coming by and by The boast of haughty error No more will fill the air, But Age and Youth will love the Truth And spread it everywhere. No more from want and sorrow Will come the hopeless cry; And strife will cease and perfect peace Will flourish by and by. —Bef OI for that holy dawning We watch and wait and pray, Till o'er the height the morning light Shall drive the gloom away; And when the heav'nly glory Shall flood the earth and sky, We'll bless the Lord for all his word, And praise him by and by.—Ref.
