Hymnal: National Jubilee Melodies #112 (1916) First Line: Trials dark on ev'ry hand, and we cannot understand Lyrics: Chorus:
By and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God are gathering home,
We will tell the story how we overcome,
We will understand it better by and by.
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]
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 each 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. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Trials dark on ev'ry hand, and we cannot understand]
By and By When the Morning Comes
