When Morning Comes

Words and music: Charles A. Tindley

Lead: George Pendergrass

Lyrics:

Trials dark on every hand, and we cannot understand
All the ways that God would lead us to that blessed promised land
But he'll guide us with his eye, and we'll follow 'till we die
We will understand it better by and by

Chorus:
By and by, when the morning comes,
When the saints of God are gathered home,
We will tell the story we've overcome
We will understand it better by and by.

Temptations, hiddens snares often take us unawares
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 by and by

Chorus (x2)

He, He leads me! (He leadeth)
He, He leads me!

He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heavenly comfort fraught.
Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.

Chorus:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me!
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful foll'wer I would be,
For by His hand, He leadeth me.

Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
By waters still or troubled sea,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me!

Repeat Chorus

And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the victory's won,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me!

Repeat Chorus

He leads me, He leads me!
By His own hand, He leads me!
His faithful foll'wer I would be,
For by His hand, He leadeth me.

He, He leads me! (He leadeth me)
He, He leads me! (Ohh...)
Repeat and fade

Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide
