DESCRIPTION

“Not Now But in the Coming Years” was written by Maxwell N. Cornelius in 1891, with music by Daniel B. Towner McGranahan. This hymn speaks gently to believers who wrestle with unanswered questions, delayed understanding, and seasons of sorrow. The Hiligaynon version, Ugaling Aton Mahangpan, preserves the hymn’s quiet assurance that God’s purposes, though unclear now, will one day be fully revealed.

Each verse acknowledges the reality of tears, halted songs, unfinished work, and hopes that seem out of reach. Rather than offering immediate explanations, the hymn invites the believer to trust God in the darkness, surrendering the present moment to His wisdom. The recurring chorus becomes a confession of faith, affirming that while the path may be dim today, understanding will come in God’s perfect time. This hymn encourages patience, trust, and steadfast hope anchored in God’s faithful guidance.

BIBLE VERSE

“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”
1 Corinthians 13:12

[Verse 1]
Ugaling aton mahangpan,
Kon ano ang kahulugan,
Luha naton nag alagay,
Didto sa dutang balaan.

Nyan sa Dios magsalig ka lang,
Panugyan sa Iya lalang,
Nyan, madulum pa ang dalan,
Ugaling aton mahangpan.

Didto aton nga tapuson,
Nyan sa aton ipaathag,

Sang kamut ta di madakpan,
Gakadumok nga paglaum,

Kon luha ta mapahiran,

Ugaling aton mahangpan.
