  *++Lyrics:|\\
Not now, but in the coming years,\\
It may be in the better land,\\
We'll read the meaning of our tears,\\
And there, some time, we'll understand.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Then trust in God through all the days;\\
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;\\
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,\\
Some time, some time 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, some time, we'll understand.\\
\\
God knows the way, He holds the key,\\
He guides us with unerring hand;\\
Some time with tearless eyes we'll see;\\
Yes, there, up there, we'll understand.\\
\\
