we will understand it better by and by.

By and by when the morning comes,
when the saints of God are gathered home,
we'll tell the story how we overcome,
for we'll understand it better by and by.

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]

and we cannot understand
all the ways that God would lead us to that blessed promised land
but he guides us with his eye,
and we'll follow till we die,
we will understand it better by and by. [Refrain]
4 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. [Refrain] Used With Tune: BY AND BY
We'll Understand It Better By and By

so longs my soul, O God, for thee,

thou majesty divine?

Hope still, and thou shalt sing
the praise of him who is thy God,
thy health's eternal spring.

O for a faith that will not shrink
Author: William Hiley Bathurst, 1796-1877 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 706 hymnals Topics: General Hymns Faith, Hope and Love Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
though pressed by many a foe;
that will not tremble on the brink
of poverty or woe;
2 that will not murmur nor complain
beneath the chastening rod;
but in the hour of grief or pain
can lean upon its God;
3 a faith that shines more bright and clear
when tempests rage without:
that when in danger knows no fear,
in darkness feels no doubt;
4 a faith that keeps the narrow way
till life’s last hour is fled,
and with a pure and heavenly ray
lights up the dying bed.
5 Lord, give me such a faith as this,
and then, what e’er may come,
I taste e’en now the hallowed bliss
of an eternal home. Scripture: Luke 17:5-6 Used With Tune: AZMON
O for a faith that will not shrink
O love, how deep! How broad! How high!
Author: Thomas à Kempis, c1390-1471; Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: General Hymns Faith, Hope and Love Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep! How broad! How high!
It fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 He sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place,
but wore the robe of human frame
himself, and to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us his daily works he wrought,
by words, and signs, and actions, thus
still seeking not himself but us.
5 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
6 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
7 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Used With Tune: EISENACH Text Sources: In the form of a cento beginning "O Amor, quem ecxtaticus", 15th century
O love, how deep! How broad! How high!
