Lyrics

[Chorus] Well children, by and by when the morning comes All the saints of God, together they come We will tell the story of how the Lord will come And we'll understand him better by and by [Verse 1] Trials dark on every hand And we cannot understand All the ways God will lead us To the blessed promised land He will guide us with his eye And we'll follow till we die And we'll understand him better by and by [Chorus] Well children, by and by when the morning comes All the saints of God, together they come We will tell the story of how the Lord will come And we'll understand him better by and by [Verse 2] Temptation's hidden snares Often take us unaware 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 But we'll understand it better by and by [Chorus] By and by when the morning comes All the saints of God, together they come We will tell the story of how the Lord will come And we'll understand him better by and by And we'll understand him better by and by
