When all the saints of God are gathered home We'll tell the story of how we've overcome For we'll understand it better by and by We are tossed and driven on the restless sea of time Somber skies and howling tempest oft succeed a bright sunshine In the land of perfect day when the mists have blown away We will understand it better by and by By and by oh when the morning comes... 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 Father Goose is on the gospel train!
