By and By

Well children, by and by, when the morning comes
all the saints of God together they come.
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
and we'll understand him better by and by.

Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand
all the ways God will lead us
to the blessed Promised Land.
He will guide us with his eye
And we'll follow till we die
And we'll understand him better by and by

Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by

Temptation's hidden snares often take the sun away
And our hearts are made to bleed
For some 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

Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by

And we'll understand him better by and by

Vertaling: Gaandeweg
Als de morgen komt, dan komen de heiligen van God samen.
We zullen vertellen hoe de Heer zal komen
en we zullen het gaandeweg beter gaan begrijpen.

Beproefd worden we her en der,
en we begrijpen niet hoe God ons leidt
naar het beloofde land;
Hij zal ons leiden en wij zullen volgen
en we zullen Hem gaandeweg beter gaan begrijpen.

De valstrikken van de verleiding nemen vaak de zon weg.
Onze harten bloeden door ondoordachte woorden en daden.
We vragen ons af waarom we beproefd worden, terwijl we ons best doen,
maar we zullen het gaandeweg beter gaan begrijpen.
