By and by
Oft our cherished plans have failed
Disappointments have prevailed
And we've wandered in the darkness
Heavy hearted and alone
But we're trusting in the Lord
And according to His Word
We will understand it better
By and by
Temptations, hidden snares
Often take us unawares
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
