Just in case you would like the lyrics to a different hymn.. here they are.
WE'LL UNDERSTAND IT BETTER BY AND BY
words & music by Charles A Tindley
Verse 1
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,
All 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.
Verse 2
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 His word,
We will understand it better by and by.
Chorus
Verse 3
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.
Chorus:
Verse 4
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.
Chorus
