Not now, but in the coming years, It may be in the better land, We’ll read the meaning of our tears, And there, sometime, 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, Sometime, sometime 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.
We’ll know why clouds instead of sun Were over many a cherished plan; Why song has ceased when scarce begun; ’Tis there, sometime, we’ll understand.
Why what we long for most of all, Eludes so oft our eager hand; Why hopes are crushed and castles fall, Up there, sometime, we’ll understand.
God knows the way, He holds the key, He guides us with unerring hand; Sometime with tearless eyes we’ll see; Yes, there, up there, we’ll understand.
