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.

Refrain:
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 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.

Refrain:
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 we test
when we try to do our best,
but we'll understand it 
better by and by.

Refrain:
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.
