Farther Along

Tempted and tried we're often made to wonder

Why it should be thus all the day long

While there are others living about us

Never molested though in the wrong

Oh farther along we'll know all about it

Farther along we'll understand why

Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine

We'll understand it all by and by

When death has come and taken our loved ones

It leaves our home so lonely and drear

And then do we wonder why others prosper?

Living so wicked year after year

Farther along we'll know all about it

Farther along we'll understand why

Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine

We'll understand it all by and by

When we see Jesus coming in glory

When He comes down from His home in the sky

Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion

We'll understand it all by and by

Oh farther along we'll know all about it

Farther along we'll understand why

Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine

We'll understand it all by and by

Yeah, we'll understand it all by and by
