16. The Sweet Here and Now
(Koi Paraga)

    1.
    There’s a land that is fairer than day,
    And by faith we can see it right here;
    a millennium always at hand,
    With its opening gates, Eden fair.

    Refrain:
    In the sweet here and now,
    We can meet on this beautiful shore;
    In the sweet here and now,
    We can meet on this beautiful shore.

    2.
    We can sing on this beautiful shore
    The melodious songs of the blessed;
    And our spirits can sorrow no more,
    Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
   
    Refrain.

Traditional Title: The Sweet By and By.
