We'll Understand It Better By and By

D G D

Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand

E7 A7

All the ways that God would lead us to that blessed Promised Land.

D G D

But He'll guide us with His eye, and we'll follow till we die.

A7 D

We will understand it better by and by.

D G D E7 A7

By and by, when the morning comes, when the saints of God are gathered home,

D G D A7 D

We will tell the story how we've overcome. We will understand it better by and by.

D G D

Oft our cherished plans have failed, disappointments have prevailed,

E7 A7

And we've wandered in the darkness, heavy hearted and alone.

D G D

But we're trusting in the Lord, and according to His Word,

A7 D

We will understand it better by and by.

D G D

Temptations, hidden snares often take us unawares,

E7 A7

And our hearts are made to bleed for some thoughtless word or deed.

D G D

And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best,

A7 D

But we'll understand it better by and by.
