[Verse 1]
Not now, but in the coming years
It may not be when we demand
We'll read the meaning of our tears
And there, sometime, we'll understand

[Verse 2]
Why what we long for most of all
Eludes our open, pleading hand
Why ever silence meets our call
Somewhere, sometime, we'll understand

[Chorus]
So trust in God through all thy days
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand
Though dark thy way still sing and praise
Sometime, sometime we'll understand

[Verse 3]
Sometime, we'll fall on bended knee
And feel there graven on His hand
Sometime with tearless eyes we'll see
What here we could not understand

[Chorus]
So trust in God through all the days
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand
Though dark thy way still sing and praise
Sometime, sometime we'll understand
[Outro]
Though dark thy way still sing and praise
Sometime, sometime we'll understand
