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.
Refrain
Then trust in God through all the days;
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Though dark thy way,
still sing and praise,
Some time, some time we¡¦ll understand.
We¡¦ll catch the broken thread again,
And finish what we
here began;
Heav¡¦n will the mysteries explain,
And then,
ah then, we¡¦ll understand.
Refrain
We¡¦ll know why clouds instead of sun
Were over many a
cherished plan;
Why song has ceased when scarce begun;
¡¦Tis there, some time, we¡¦ll understand.
Refrain
God knows the way, He holds the key,
He guides us with
unerring hand;
Some time with tearless eyes we¡¦ll see;
Yes, there, up there, we¡¦ll understand.
Refrain
