By and by When the Morning Comes – v3

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.

By and by when the morning comes,

And all the saints of God are gathered home,

We will 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, 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.

Temptations, hidden snares

Often take us unawares,

And our hearts are made to bleed

For many 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.
