We Will Understand It Better By and By| Lyrics
- We are often tossed and driv’n 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 have rolled away,
We will understand it better by and by.
Refrain:
By and by, when the morning comes,
All the saints of God are gathered home,
We will tell the story how we’ve overcome,
We will understand it better by and by.
- We are often destitute of the things that life demands;
Want of food and want of shelter, thirsty hills and barren lands;
We are trusting in the Lord, and according to his Word,
We will understand it better by and by. [Refrain] - Trials dark on ev’ry hand and we cannot understand
All the ways that 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. [Refrain] - Temptations, hidden snares often take us unaware,
And our hearts are made to bleed for a tho’tless 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. [Refrain]
Notes
By and By is a deeply comforting Christian hymn about faith in the midst of life’s struggles and unanswered questions. It acknowledges the pain, confusion, and hardships we often face—poverty, trials, temptations, and loss—but encourages believers to trust in God’s greater plan. Though we may not understand everything now, the hymn assures us that one day, in God’s eternal presence, all things will be made clear. It speaks of hope, perseverance, and the promise of heavenly understanding. This message echoes 1 Corinthians 13:12 – “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face…”, reminding Christians that clarity and peace await in God’s perfect timing.
