Victory Songs ‎#155

155. When Morning Comes.

1 Trials dark on ev'ry 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.

2 We are often destitute of the things that life demands,
Want of shelter and of food, thirsty hills and barren land;
But we're trusting in the Lord, and according to His Word,
We will understand it better by and by. [Chorus]

3 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,
But will understand it better by and by. [Chorus]
