Words & Music: Arranged by Elvis Presley

Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by

Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand
All the ways God will lead us
To the blessed promised land
He will guide us with his eye
And we'll follow till we die
And we'll understand him better by and by

Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by

Temptation's hidden snares often take the sun away
And our hearts are made to bleed
For some thoughtless word or deed
And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best
But we'll understand it better by and by

Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by

And we'll understand him better by and by

The intro sounds like an old woman hammering the piano at a Baptist Revival show. I love this uplifting song.

Even Elvis' critics had to acknowledge this particular Presley project. Not a bad performance or any substandard material on the whole album

The sound of this album was truly inspirational and awe inspiring. Wonderful stuff.

When you think of it,we only had LPs such as "Pot Luck" & Something For Everyone" giving us something other than film soundtracks + these religious song's,I enjoyed singing along with them although I'm not religious.

Good recording from a great album. I preferred the 'His hand in Mine' album but this was great to listen to in the mid 60's as against the poor movie albums at that time.

This is a great song, definitely an album highlight. But then again, How Great Thou Art only contained highlights

One of the better songs from the How Great Thou Art sessions, not as depressing as many of the other songs.
