一 不在此時，許在將來，不在這裏，許在美地，
我們纔能完全領會歎息、眼淚所有意義。
（副）你當一生，信靠救主，
不必懼怕，主在攙扶；
路雖陰暗，仍當讚美，
有日，有日都要領會。
二 中斷線索，都將接上，一生經過，必有路軌；
天能解釋各樣祕藏，那日，那日都必領會。
三 何故厚雲遮蔽太陽？何故寂寞代替安慰？
何故嘆息多過歌唱？有日，我們就要領會。
四 何以祈求未見答應？何以將成終又不遂？
何以盼望終成泡影？那日，那裏，我必領會。
五 神知我路，手拿它鑰，祂的帶領充滿智慧；
有日我眼看見一切，就在那日，我必領會。
1. Not now, but in the coming years,
It may be when with Christ we stand.
We'll read the meaning of our tears,
And there, sometime, we'll understand.
Refrain
Then trust in God thro' all thy days;
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Sometime, sometime we'll understand.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Why what we long for most of all,
Eludes so oft our eager hand;
Why hopes are crushed and castles fall,
Up there, sometime, we'll understand.
5. 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.
