Sleepy John Estes - Bye and Bye (When the Morning Comes) lyrics

We are tossed and driven on the restless sea of time; Somber skies and howling tempests Oft succeed a bright sunshine; In that land of perfect day, When the mists are rolled away, We will understand it better by and by. Refrain: By and by, when the morning comes, When all the saints of God are gathered home, We will tell the story how we've overcome, And we'll understand it better by and by. We are often destitute Of the things that life demands, Want of food and want of shelter, Thirsty hills and barren lands; We are trusting in the Lord, And according to God's word, We will understand it better by and by. (Refrain) Trials dark on every hand, And we cannot understand All the ways of God would lead us To that blessed promised land; But he guides us with his eye, And we'll follow till we die, For we'll understand it better by and by. (Refrain)
