We'll read the meaning of our tears, And there, sometime, we'll understand.

Refrain

Then trust in God thro' all thy days;

Fear not, for he doth hold thy hand

Tho' dark thy way, still sing and praise;

Sometime, sometime, we'll understand. (Last verse: Amen.)
We'll catch the bro-ken thread again, And finish what we here began;

Heaven will the mysteries explain, And then, ah then, we'll understand.

Refrain
We'll know why clouds instead of sun Were over many a cherished plan;

Why song has ceased when scarce begun; 'Tis there, sometime, we'll understand.

Refrain
Why what we long for most of all, Eludes so oft our eager hand;

Why hopes are crushed and castles fall, Up there, sometime, we'll understand.

Refrain
God knows the way, he holds the key, He guides us with unerring hand;

Sometime with tearless eye we'll see ; Yes, there, up there, we'll understand.

Refrain
