We'll Understand It Better By and By
Author: Charles Albert Tindley Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #636 (1999) Meter: Irregular with refrain Topics: Gospel Hymns First Line: We are tossed and driven on the restless sea of time Refrain First Line: By and by, when the morning comes Lyrics: 1 We are tossed and driven
on the restless sea of time;
somber skies and howling tempests
oft succeed a bright sunshine;
in that land of perfect day,
when the mists have rolled away,
we will understand it better by and by.
Refrain:
By and by, when the morning comes,
when the saints of God are gathered home,
we’ll tell the story how we’ve overcome,
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]
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. [Refrain]
4 Temptations, hidden snares,
often take us unawares,
and our hearts are made to bleed
for any 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]

When in the book of heav'n

For sins yet unforgiv'n;

And many things below,
I went unto the Keeper,
And settled long ago.
Chorus:
Long ago, long ago,
Yes, the old account was settled long ago,
And the record’s clear today,
For He washed my sins away,
When the old account was settled long ago.

And growing ev'ry day,
For I was always sinning,
And never tried to pay;
But when I looked ahead
And saw such pain and woe,
I said that I would settle,
And settled long ago. [Chorus]
3 When at the judgment bar
I stand before my King,
And He the book will open,
He cannot find a thing;
Then will my heart be glad,
While tears of joy will flow,
Because I had it settled,
And settled long ago. [Chorus]
4 O sinner, seek the Lord,
Repent of all your sin,
For thus He has commanded,
If you would enter in;
And then if you should live
A hundred years below,
E'en here you’ll not regret it,
You settled long ago. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: THE OLD ACCOUNT
