There’ll Be Joy By and By

Tho’ the night be dark and drea­ry

Tho’ the way be long and wea­ry

Morn shall bring thee light and cheer;

Child

look up

the dawn is near.

There’ll be joy by and by

There’ll be joy by and by;

In the dawn­ing of the morn­ing

There’ll be joy by and by.

Tho’ thine eyes are sad with weep­ing

Thro’ the night thy vi­gils keep­ing

God shall wipe thy tears away

Turn thy dark­ness in­to day.

Tho’ thy spir­it faints with fast­ing

Thro’ the hours so slow­ly wast­ing

Morn shall bring a glo­ri­ous feast

Thou shalt sit an hon­ored guest.
