Two talented musicians turned in a powerful, moving duet performance of the beloved and classic hymn “In the Sweet By and By.”

Hymns are beautiful pieces of music that tell of Christ’s love, forgiveness, mercy and grace. Most are timeless classics that have held up well over the years, even though, in some cases, several of them are hundreds of years old. The messages and lyrics of those songs are as relevant today as when they were first written.

Even though it is true that hymns are still necessary and relevant pieces of music, many churches have moved away from them. Some places of worship may sprinkle hymns in the praise and worship portion of their services here and there. The majority of churches, though, have chosen to sing and perform contemporary Christian tunes. How could we ever leave out and move away from hymns like “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” “In The Garden” and “Amazing Grace?”

In a clip posted on YouTube, two women give a lovely rendition of another of those hymns: “In The Sweet By and By.” Of course, the song is about heaven, where there is no sickness, heartache, pain or death. It’s also a tune that many can likely sing entirely from memory.

The song’s beautiful, iconic and memorable chorus describes what every follower of Christ is striving and working toward. It is where He has gone and prepared a place for you, me and every other Christian.

“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”

At the end of their fabulous performance, the two talented ladies receive applause from several individuals, showing them their appreciation for their musical efforts.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
