Couplet 1

There's a coming day of plenty
Where the Sabbath will not end
Where soldiers finally get to rest
And leave this world of sin
Appetites will all be satisfied
And flames ain't going to burn
We're all dying to get there
But we gotta wait our turn

Refrain

By and by Lord
When the morning comes
When the saints of God
Are gathered home
We will tell the story
Of how we've overcome
We will understand it
Better by and by

Couplet 2

We don't know yet what we shall be
Or what we shall become
In the twinkling of an eye
We'll be staring in the Son
All these trials and tribulations
In no ways will compare
To the glory that we're gonna see
When we all get there

Refrain

By and by Lord
When the morning comes
When the saints of God
Are gathered home
We will tell the story
Of how we've overcome
We will understand it
Better by and by

Pont

The Son will shine forever
Past the dark side of this moon
The Son will shine forever
Past the dark side of this moon
Oh people be getting ready
We're going soon and very soon
People be getting ready
We're going soon and very soon

Refrain

By and by Lord
When the morning comes
When the saints of God
Are gathered home
We will tell the story
Of how we've overcome
We will understand it
Better by and by
