Coming Day of Plenty (By & By)
by Randy Griffin, Cliff Preston, Jennie Lee Riddle, Charles Albert Tindley
V1
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.
C1
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.
V2
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!
C2
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.
We will understand it better!
B1
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!
C3
(Oh!) By and by, 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.
We will tell the story of how we've overcome.
We will understand it better by and by.
T1
We will understand it better by and by.
We will understand it better by and by. Oh!
