Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand
All the ways that God would lead us
to that blessed Promised Land
But He'll guide us with His eye
and we'll follow till we die
We will understand it better by and by
Chorus:
By and by when the morning comes
When the saints of God are gathered home
We will tell the story how we've overcome
We will understand it better by and by
Oft our cherished plans have failed
disappointments have prevailed
And we've wandered in the darkness heavyhearted and alone But we're trusting in the Lord
and according to His Word
We will understand it better by and by Chorus
Temptations hidden snares
often take us unawares
And our hearts are made to bleed
for some thoughtless word or deed
And we wonder why the test
when we try to do our best
We will understand it better by and by Chorus
