by and by morning comes

We are often tossed and driven 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.

CHORUS
By and by when the morning
comes,
When all the saints of God are
gathered home,
We will tell the story how we
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;
But we’re trusting in the Lord, and according to His Word, We will understand it better by and by.


Trials dark on every hand, and we cannot understand, All the ways that
God would lead us to that blessed
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.

Temptations, hidden snares often take us unawares, And our hearts are made
to bleed for many 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.
