[Verse 1] G D We are tossed and driven on the restless seas of time; E7 A Somber skies and howling tempest oft succeed a bright sunshine. D D7 G D In the land of perfect day, when the mists have rolled away, A D We will understand it better bye and bye.

[Verse 2] G D We are often destitute of the things that life demands; E7 A Want of shelter and of food, thirsty hills and barren lands.

[Chorus] D G D Bye and bye, when the morning comes; E7 A All the saints of God are gathered home. D G D We'll tell the story how we've overcome, A D And we'll understand it better bye and bye. [Verse 3] G D Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand E7 A All the ways the God would lead us To that blessed promised land. D D7 G D But He guides us with His eye and we'll follow Him on high; A D And we'll understand it better bye and bye. [Chorus] D G D Bye and bye, when the morning comes; E7 A All the saints of God are gathered home. D G D We'll tell the story how we've overcome, A D
