[Our bondage it shall end, by and by, by and by]
1
Our bondage it shall end, by and by,From Egypt's yoke set free;
Hail the glorious jubilee,
And to Canaan we'll return, by and by.
2
Our deliverer he shall come, by and by,And our sorrows have an end,
With our threescore years and ten,
And vast glory crown the day, by and by
3
Though our enemies are strong, we'll go onThough our hearts dissolve with fear,
Lo, Sinai's God is near,
While the fiery pillar moves, we'll go on.
4
Though Marah has bitter streams, we'll go on;Though Baca's vale be dry,
And the land yield no supply;
To a land of corn and wine, we'll go on.
5
And when to Jordan's floods, we are come,Jehovah rules the tide,
And the waters he'll divide,
And the ransom'd host shall shout, we are come,
6
Then friends shall meet again, who have loved,Our embraces shall be sweet
At the dear Redeemer's feet,
When we meet to part no more, who have loved.
7
Then with all the happy throng, we'll rejoiceShouting glory to our King,
Till the vaults of heaven ring,
And through all eternity we'll rejoice
