We'll Understand It Better By And By

By and by, when the morning comes

When the saints of God are gathered home

We will tell the story how we've overcome

And 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

By and by, when the morning comes

When the saints of God are gathered home

We will tell the story how we've overcome

And 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 the test when we try to do our best

But we'll understand it better by and by

Well now, by and by, when the morning comes

When the saints of God are gathered home

We will tell the story how we've overcome

And we'll understand it better by and by, sing now

By and by, when the morning comes

When the saints of God are gathered home

We will tell the story how we've overcome

And we'll understand it better by and by

Yes, we'll tell the story how we've overcome

And we'll understand it better by and by
