Author: Allen Wilson Hymnal: TCP11900 #29 (1900) First Line: Oh! this world is full of grief Refrain First Line: We shall know it all some day Lyrics: Oh! this world is full of grief,
Full of sorrow, pain and woe,
Full of heartaches and of tears,
Why, oh, why, should this be so?
Chorus:
We shall know it all some day
When the pearly gates unfold,
And we walk the streets of gold,
We shall know it all, some day.
There’s a husband’s lonely home;
There’s an orphan’s wailing cry;
There’s a wife left all alone;
Why this grief? oh, tell my why?
In a room with curtains drawn
Lies a baby still in death;
Hear the mother’s anguished cry:
“Why should I be thus bereft?”
Shall I see the shadows rise?
Shall I know the reason why
All these sufferings were sent
In the golden bye and bye?
And the loved ones gone before,
Father, mother, baby, dear,—
Shall I know them all in heav’n,—
Know and love them there as here?
