Well, children, by and by, when the morning comes
All the saints of God together in home
We will tell the story how we overcome
And we'll understand it 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 'til we die
And we'll understand it better by and by

Well, children, by and by, when the morning comes
All the saints of God together in home
We will tell the story how we overcome
And we'll understand it better by and by

Temptations, 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

By and by, when the morning comes
All the saints of God together in home
We will tell the story how we overcome
And we'll understand it better by and by
And we'll understand it better by and by
