We'll Understand It Better By and By

Author: Charles A. Tindley 1851-1933 Hymnal: Total Praise #417 (2011) Meter: 7.7.15.7.7.11 with refrain First Line: We are often tossed and driv'n Refrain First Line: By and by when the morning comes Lyrics: 1 We are often tossed and driv'n 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. Refrain: By and by when the morning comes, When 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. 2 We are often destitute Of the things that life demands. Want of food and 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. [Refrain] 3 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 guides us with His eye And we'll follow till we die. For we'll understand it better by and by. [Refrain] 4 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 we'll understand it better by and by.
