1 verse:
Eb Bb/D
Not now, but in the coming years,

Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,

Sometime, sometime, we’ll understand.

We’ll catch the broken thread again,
And finish what we here began;
God 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 then, sometime, we’ll understand.

Why hopes are crushed and castles fall,

Till then, sometime, we’ll understand.

God knows the way, He holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand;
Sometime with tearless eyes we’ll see;
Yes, then, ’tis then, we’ll understand.
