D MajorD D7D7
Trials dark on every hand
G+G D MajorD
And we cannot understand

All the ways that God would lead us

To that blessed Promised Land

But He'll guide us with His eye
G+G D MajorD
And we'll follow till we die

We will understand it better
D MajorD
By and by
Refrain:
D MajorD D7D7
By and by
G+G D MajorD
When the morning comes
D MajorD
When the saints of
E7E7 A7A7
God are gathered home
D MajorD D7D7
We will tell the story
G+G D MajorD
How we've overcome

We will understand it better

Verse 2:
Oft our cherished plans have failed
Disappointments have prevailed
And we've wandered in the darkness
Heavy hearted and alone
But we're trusting in the Lord
And according to His Word
We will understand it better
By and by
Verse 3:
Temptations, hidden snares
Often take us unawares
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
