By and by Rev 21:21 BY AND BY—Rigdon McCoy McIntosh By and by (or It May Be Far, it May Be Near) 1 It may be far, it may be near, There is a hope, there is a fear, But in the future waiting I shall Jesus see, yes, “by and by.” By and by, yes, by and by, By and by, yes, by and by; But in the future waiting I shall Jesus see, yes, “by and by.” Impatient soul, and murm’ring heart, Your murm’ring cease and bear your part Of pain and labor on life’s road, For soon ’twill lead thee to thy God.
