By and By - Jennifer Knapp
Yet another version of the song. Although now seen as a contemporary folk / rock artist, Jennifer Knapp spent the first part of her career as a Christian rock artist. Her version of the song is completely different to the others but has the worship element that pigeon holes it with both Tindely's and Webster's compositions.
