Well children by and by when the morning comes  All the saints of God together they come  We will tell the story how the Lord will come  And we'll understand him better by and by    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    Well children by and by when the morning comes  All the saints of God together they come  We will tell the story how the Lord will come  And we'll understand him better by and by    Temptation's hidden snares often take the sun away  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    Well children by and by when the morning comes  All the saints of God together they come  We will tell the story how the Lord will come  And we'll understand him better by and by    And we'll understand him better by and by    these lyrics are submitted by amlbnc
