(Spoken annotation by Wolf: "This is not a very old song. Mr. Cash sings the lead, and Mr. Hall the bass.")

How sweet 'twill be when we meet our Lord,
When he comes in glory by and by.
What a song of praise will be upon me,
When he comes in glory by and by.

Chorus: How sweet 'twill be, how sweet 'twill be
When he comes again in the sky.
What joy, what joy, when he comes in glory by and by.

We will have our robes as white as snow
When he comes in glory by and by.
We'll be ready with the Lord to go
When he comes in glory by and by.

(Chorus)

I am longing for that happy day
When he comes in glory by and by.
For with him my hopes will soar away
When he comes in glory by and by.

(Chorus)
