We’ll Understand It Better By and By

 Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

I don’t know what I will face tomorrow, but I know that when all my tomorrow’s are finished, I have a future secured in the Lord Jesus Christ, John 14:1-3.


We’ll Understand It Better By and By

_________________________________________


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. 


CHORUS:

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. 


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. 


Charles A. Tindley   1905
