We are often tossed and driv'n on the restless sea of time.
Somber skies and howling tempests oft succeed a bright sunshine.
In that land of perfect day, when the mists have rolled away,
We will understand it better by and by.

  By and by, when the morning comes,
  All the saints of God are gathering home.
  We will tell the story how we've overcome
  We will understand it better by and by.

Trials dark on ev'ry hand, and we cannot understand
All the way that God will lead us to that blessed promised land;
But He'll guide us with His eye, and we'll follow till we die,
We will understand it better by and by.

We are often destitute of the things that life demands.
Want of shelter and of food, thirsty hill and barren land;
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 each 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.

Yesu azali awa
Yesu azali awa
Yesu azali awa na biso

  Alleluia, alleluia
  Alleluia na Yesu
  Alleluia, alleluia
  Alleluia na Yesu
