Though 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)
