IN LOVING MEMORY


BAR graphic for In Loving Memory - Sweet By and By


This page is a tribute to the memory of two special people to me--Catherine Agnes Seaman  and Wilfred Gerald Ramsey.  While their passing away grieved us beyond words, we were comforted by the scriptures that tell us Jesus Christ will return to this earth someday to burst the bands of death and break the fetters of the tomb. These precious captives will come forth in the glorious boon of immortal health and beauty.

"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. But if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

"For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

"Wherefore comfort one another with these words." --1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

SWEET BY AND BY

There's a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way,
To prepare us a dwelling place there.


Refrain

In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.


We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blest;
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.


To our bountiful Father above,
We will offer our tribute of praise,
For the glorious gift of His love,
And the blessings that hallow our days.


Words: Sanford F. Bennett, 1868
Music: Joseph P. Webster
