Text: | Sometime We'll Understand |
Author: | Maxwell N. Cornelius |
Tune: | [Not now but in the coming years] |
Composer: | James McGranahan |
1 Not now but in the coming years,
It may be in the better land,
We'll read the meaning of our tears,
And there, some time, we'll understand.
Chorus:
Then trust in God through all thy days;
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise;
Sometime, sometime, we'll understand.
2 We'll catch the broken threads again,
Anmd finish what we here began;
Heav'n will the mysteries explain,
And then, ah, then, we'll understand [Chorus]
3 We'll know why clouds instead of sun
Were over many a cherished plan;
Why song has ceased when scarce begun
'Tis there, sometime, we'll understand. [Chorus]
4 God knows the way, He holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand;
Sometime with tearless eyes we'll see;
Yes, there, up there, we'll understand. [Chorus]
