Not now, but in the coming years,
不在此時，許待那日，
It may be when with Christ we stand,
我們與主同在一起；
We’ll read the meaning of our tears,
那時纔能完全認識
And there, sometime, we’ll understand.
歎息、眼淚所有意義。

Then trust in God through all thy days;
你當一生信靠救主，
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
路雖陰暗，仍當讚美，
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
不必懼怕，主在攙扶，
Sometime, sometime, we’ll understand.
有日、有日都要領會。

We’ll catch the broken thread again,
中斷線索，都將接上，
And finish what we here began;
一生經過，必有路軌，
God will the mysteries explain,
天能解釋各樣秘藏，
And then, ah, then, we’ll understand.
那日、那日都必領會。

We’ll know why clouds instead of sun
何故厚雲遮蔽太陽？
Were over many a cherished plan;
何故寂寞代替安慰？
Why song has ceased when scarce begun;
何故歎息多過歌唱？
’Tis then, sometime, we’ll understand.
有日我們就要領會。

Why what we long for most of all,
何以祈求未見答應？
Eludes so oft our eager hand;
何以將成終又不遂？
Why hopes are crushed and castles fall,
何以盼望終成泡影？
Till then, sometime, we’ll understand.
那日那時，我必領會。

God knows the way, He holds the key,
神知我路，手拿它鑰，
He guides us with unerring hand;
祂的帶領充滿智慧；
Sometime with tearless eyes we’ll see;
有日我眼看見一切，
Yes, then, ’tis then, we’ll understand.
到了那日，我必領會。
