We are tosseded and driven on the restless sea of time
Somber skies and howling tempests oft succeeds the bright sunshine
In the land of perfect day, when the mists have rolled away
We will understand it better bye and bye
Bye and bye, when the morning come
All the saints of God, together at home
We will tell the story, how we'll overcome
We will understand it better, bye and bye
Trials dark on every hand, and we can not understand
All the ways that God will lead us to that blessed Promised Land
He will guard us with his eye, and we'll follow 'til we die
And we'll understand it better, bye and bye
Bye and bye, when the morning come
All the saints of God, together at home
We will tell the story, how we'll overcome
We will understand it better, bye and bye
We are often destituted, all the things in life demand
Want of shelter and of food, thirstys hills and barren land
We are trusting in the Lord, and according to his Word
We will understand it better, bye and bye
Bye and bye, when the morning come
All the saints of God, together at home
We will tell the story, how we'll overcome
We will understand it better, bye and bye
