We'll Understand It Better By and By |
We are tossed and driv’n on the restless sea of time; |
Somber skies and howling tempests oft succeed a bright sunshine; |
In that land of perfect day, when the mists have rolled away, |
We will understand it better by and by. |
By and by, when the morning comes, |
When the saints of God are gathered home, |
We’ll tell the story how we’ve overcome, |
For we’ll understand it better by and by. |
We are often destitute of the things that life demands, |
Want of food and want of shelter, thirsty hills and barren lands; |
We are trusting in the Lord, and according to God’s Word, |
We will understand it better by and by. |
By and by, when the morning comes, |
When the saints of God are gathered home, |
We’ll tell the story how we’ve overcome, |
For we’ll understand it better by and by. |
Trials dark on every hand, and we cannot understand |
All the ways that God could lead us to that blessèd promised land; |
But He guides us with His eye, and we’ll follow till we die, |
For we’ll understand it better by and by. |
By and by, when the morning comes, |
When the saints of God are gathered home, |
We’ll tell the story how we’ve overcome, |
For we’ll understand it better by and by. |
Temptations, hidden snares often take us unawares, |
And our hearts are made to bleed for a thoughtless word or deed; |
And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best, |
But we’ll understand it better by and by. |
By and by, when the morning comes, |
When the saints of God are gathered home, |
We’ll tell the story how we’ve overcome, |
For we’ll understand it better by and by. |
