When the Morning Comes

Author: Charles A. Tindley; B. B. McKinney Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #522 (1991) Meter: Irregular Hymnal Title: Baptist Hymnal 1991 First Line: Trials dark on ev'ry hand Refrain First Line: By and by Lyrics: 1. Trials dark on ev'ry 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. By and by, when the morning comes, When the saints of God are gathered home, We will tell the story how we've overcome; We will understand it better by and by. 2. Oft our cherished plans have failed, disappointments have prevailed, And we've wandered in the darkness, heavy-hearted and alone; But we're trusting in the Lord, and, according to his Word, We will understand it better by and by. By and by, when the morning comes, When the saints of God are gathered home, We will tell the story how we've overcome; We will understand it better by and by. 3. Temptations, hidden snares often take us unawares, And our hearts are made to bleed for some tho'tless 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. By and by, when the morning comes, When the saints of God are gathered home, We will tell the story how we've overcome; We will understand it better by and by.

Charles Albert Tindley

1851 - 1933 Person Name: Charles A. Tindley Hymnal Title: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) Author of "Trials Dark on Every Hand (When Morning Comes)" in Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) Charles Albert Tindley was born in Berlin, Maryland, July 7, 1851; son of Charles and Hester Tindley. His father was a slave, and his mother was free. Hester died when he was very young; he was taken in my his mother’s sister Caroline Miller Robbins in order to keep his freedom. It seems that he was expected to work to help the family. In his Book of Sermons (1932), he speaks of being “hired out” as a young boy, “wherever father could place me.” He married Daisy Henry when he was seventeen. Together they had eight children, some of whom would later assist him with the publication of his hymns. Tindley was largely self-taught throughout his lifetime. He learned to read mostly on his own. After he and Daisy moved to Philadelphia in 1875, he took correspondence courses toward becoming a Methodist minister. He did this while working as a sexton (building caretaker) for the East Bainbridge Street Church. Beginning in 1885, he was appointed by the local bishop to serve two or three-year terms at a series of churches, until coming full circle to become pastor at East Bainbridge in 1902. Under his leadership, the church grew rapidly. They relocated in 1904 to the East Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church, then again in 1924 to the new Tindley Temple, where the membership roll blossomed to about ten thousand. Tindley was known for being a captivating preacher, and for also taking an active role in the betterment of the people in his community. His songs were an outgrowth of his preaching ministry, often introduced during his sermons. Tindley was able to draw people of multiple races to his church ministry; likewise, his songs have been adopted and proliferated by white and black churches alike. The songs of Charles Tindley were published cumulatively in two editions of Soul Echoes (1905, 1909) and six editions of New Songs of Paradise (1916-1941). His wife Daisy died in 1924, before the completion of the Tindley Temple. He remarried in 1927 to Jenny Cotton. Charles A. Tindley died July 26, 1933.
