Appears in 100 hymnals First Line: Here we're often tossed and driv'n on the restless sea of time Refrain First Line: By and by, O when the morning comes Lyrics: 1 Here we’re often tossed and driv’n on the restless sea of time;
Rolling clouds and howling tempest oft succeed a bright sunshine;
In that land of perfect day, when the mist is rolled away,
We will understand it better by and by.
Refrain:
By and by, O when the morning comes,
All the saints of God are gathered home,
We’ll tell the story how we overcome,
And 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, with thirsty hills and barren land,
But we’re trusting in the Lord, and according to His word,
We will understand it better by and by. [Refrain]
3 Trials hard on every hand, and we can not understand
All the ways that God will lead us to that blessed promised land,
But He’ll guide us with His eye, and we’ll follow till we die,
We will understand it better by and by. [Refrain]
4 Here temptation’s hidden snare often takes us unaware,
And our hearts are made to bleed by some thoughtless word or deed,
And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best,
But will understand it better by and by. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Here we’re tossed and driv’n on the restless sea of time]

R. E. Winsett
1876 - 1952 Arranger of "[Here we're often tossed and driven on the rest]" in Glory Songs Robert Emmett Winsett (January 15, 1876 — June 26, 1952 (aged 76) was an American composer and publisher of Gospel music.
Winsett was born in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, and graduated from the Bowman Normal School of Music in 1899.
He founded his own publishing company in 1903, and his first publication, Winsett's Favorite Songs, quickly became popular among the Baptist and Pentecostal churches of the American South. Pentecostal Power followed in 1907; that year Winsett completed postgraduate work at a conservatory.
He married Birdie Harris in 1908, and had three sons and two daughters with her. He settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, continuing to compose gospel songs, of which he would write over 1,000 in total. He became a minister in 1923, and was affiliated with the Church of God (Seventh Day).
Birdie Harris died late in the 1920s, and shortly thereafter Winsett moved back to Tennessee. He founded a new company in Chattanooga, and published more shape note music books. He remarried, to Mary Ruth Edmonton, in 1930, and had three further children.
Winsett's final publication, Best of All (1951), sold over 1 million copies, and in total his books sold over ten million copies. His song "Jesus Is Coming Soon" won a Dove Award for Gospel Song of the Year at the 1969 awards. He has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame.
