Bye and bye, when the morning comes;

All the saints of God are gathered home.

And we'll understand it better bye and bye.

We are tossed and driven on the restless seas of time;

In the land of perfect day, when the mists have rolled away,

We will understand it better bye and bye.

We are trusting in the Lord and according to His word,
A D
We will understand it better bye and bye.

Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand

All the ways the God would lead us To that blessed promised land.

But He guides us with His eye and we'll follow Him on high;

And we'll understand it better bye and bye.
