WELL UNDERSTAND
Not now, but in the coming years, It may be in the better land,
Well read the meaning of our tears, And there, sometime, well understand. God knows the way, he holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand; Sometimes with tearless eyes well see; Yes there, up there, well understand.
Then trust in God all thy days; Fear not, for he doth hold thy hand; Though dark the way, still sing and praise; Sometime, sometime, well understand.
