We are tossed and driven

On this restless sea of time

Somber skies and howling tempests

Oft succeed a bright sunshine

In that land of perfect day

When the mists are rolled away

We will understand it better, By and By

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 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

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

My latino hermanos y hermanas

Por la manana alavado cia el senor

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

When this life is over gonna see the king at the gates of heaven gonna shout and sing and fly away

When I get to heaven gonna wear a crown glory hallelujah lay my burdens down and fly away

Fly away, fly away, we're gonna fly away

One day by and by
