We are often tossed and driven (We'll understand it better by and by)
Author: Charles A. Tindley Hymnal: Beams of Heaven #18 (2006) First Line: We are often tossed and driven on the restless sea of time Refrain First Line: By and by, when the morning comes Lyrics: 1. We are often tossed and driven on the restless sea of time.
Somber skies and howling tempest oft succeeds a bright sunshine.
In that land of perfect day, When the mists have rolled away.
We will understand it better by and by.
Chorus:
By and by, when the morning comes,
All the saints of God are gathered home,
We'll tell the story how we've overcome,
For we'll understand it better by and by.
2. We are often destitute of the things that life demands.
Want of shelter and of food, thirsty hills and barren lands.
We are trusting in the Lord, and according to His word,
We will understand it better by and by. [Chorus]
3. Trials dark on every hand, 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,
For we'll understand it better by and by. [Chorus]
4. Temptations, hidden snares, often take us unawares,
And our hearts are made to bleed for a thoughtless word or deed.
And we wonder why the test, when we try to do our best;
We will understand it better by and by. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are often tossed and driven on the restless sea of time]
