Cornelius Tune: [Not now, but in the coming years] Composer: James McGranahan 1 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 thro' 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. 2 We'll catch the broken thread again, Anmd finish what we here began; Heav'n will the mysteries explain, And then, ah, then, we'll understand (Chorus) 3 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. (Chorus) 4 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.
