121. Some Time We’ll Understand

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.

Then trust in God through all thy days; fear not, for he doth hold thy hand; Though dark thy way, still sing and praise, some time, some time we’ll understand.

2.

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.

Then trust in God through all thy days; fear not, for he doth hold thy hand; Though dark thy way, still sing and praise, some time, some time we’ll understand.

3.

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.

Then trust in God through all thy days; fear not, for he doth hold thy hand; Though dark thy way, still sing and praise, some time, some time we’ll understand.

4.

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.

Then trust in God through all thy days; fear not, for he doth hold thy hand; Though dark thy way, still sing and praise, some time, some time we’ll understand.
