Author: James Rowe Hymnal: Melodies of Love #126 (1962) First Line: We know not why we have to bear Refrain First Line: The mystery of life will end Lyrics: 1 We know not why we have to bear
So much distress, so much despair;
but some delightful, blessed day,
The mystery will pass away.
Refrain:
The mystery of life will end
When we behold our blessed Friend;
Yes, in that bright and blessed day,
The mystery will pass away.
2 We do not know why some must sign
And others sing, while life goes by;
But when shall end this earthly fray,
The mystery will pass away. [Refrain]
3 We know not why some toil in vain,
And some with ease vast riches gain;
But in the land of fadeless day,
The mystery will pass away. [Refrain]
4 We can not tell why God's own Son
Should die for wrongs that we had done;
But when on earth no more we stray,
The mystery will pass away. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We know not why we have to bear]
