When the Morning Comes
Charles Tindley, 1905
Time Signature: 4/4
Presentation V1a V1b C V2a V2b C V3a V3b C

Verse 1a
Trials dark on ev’ry hand,
and we cannot understand
All the ways that God will lead us
to that blessed promised land;

Verse 1b
But He’ll guide us with His eye,
and we’ll follow till we die,
We will understand it better by and by.

Chorus
By and by, oh, when the morning comes,
All the saints of our
God are gathering home,
And we will tell the story
of how we’ve overcome,
We will understand it better by and by.

Verse 2a
We are often destitute
of the things that life demands,
Want of shelter and of food,
thirsty hills and barren land;

Verse 2b
But we’re trusting in the Lord,
and according to His word,
We will understand it better by and by.

Verse 3a
Temptations, hidden snares,
often take us unawares,
And our hearts are made to bleed
for each thoughtless word or deed;

Verse 3b
And we wonder why the test,
when we try to do our best,
But we’ll understand it better by and by.
