WE WILL UNDERSTAND IT BETTER BY AND BY  LYRICS

VERSE 1

We are oft’n tossed and driven 
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 are 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’ll tell the story how we’ve overcome, 
for we’ll understand it better by and by. 

VERSE 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 God’s word, 
we will understand it better by and by. 
(Refrain) 

VERSE 3

Trials dark on every hand, 
and we cannot understand 
all the ways of 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) 

VERSE 4

Temptations, hidden snares 
often take us unawares, 
and our hearts are made 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. 
(Refrain) 

PSALMS 32: 6-7
6 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them. 
7 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. 

WE WILL UNDERSTAND IT BETTER BY AND BY. THE STORMS OF LIFE ARE JUST FOR A SHORT TIME.
