Lyrics
Verse 1
There's a coming day of plenty
Where the Sabbath will not end
Where soldiers finally get to rest
And leave this world of sin
Appetites will all be satisfied
And flames ain't going to burn
We're all dying to get there
But we gotta wait our turn
Chorus 1
By and by Lord when the morning comes
When the saints of God are gathered home
We will tell the story of how we've overcome
We will understand it better by and by
Verse 2
We don't know yet what we shall be
Or what we shall become
In the twinkling of an eye
We'll be staring in the Son!
All these trials and tribulations
In no ways will compare
To the glory that we're gonna see
When we all get there!
Chorus 2
By and by Lord when the morning comes
When the saints of God are gathered home
We will tell the story of how we've overcome
We will understand it better by and by
We will understand it better!
Bridge
The Son will shine forever
Past the dark side of this moon!
The Son will shine forever
Past the dark side of this moon!
Oh people be getting ready
We're going soon and very soon!
People be getting ready
We're going soon and very soon!
Chorus 3
(Oh!) By and by when the morning comes
When the saints of God are gathered home
We will tell the story of how we've overcome
We will understand it better by and by
We will tell the story of how we've overcome
We will understand it better by and by
Tag
We will understand it better by and by
We will understand it better by and by
Oh!
