Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
There is many a sad and lonely person in this world, but in the New Jerusalem there are not going to be any more tears.
No more deaths. That is going to be a very marvelous improvement.

Trials dark on every hand, — And we cannot understand — All the ways that God will 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:
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.
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. — We will understand it better by and by.
We are often 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.
