farther along

Tempted and tried we’re oft 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.

CHORUS
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;
Then do we wonder
why others prosper, Living so wicked year after year.

Faithful till death said our loving
Master, A few more days to labor and
wait’ Toils of the road will then seem as nothing, As we sweep through the
beautiful gate.

When we see Jesus coming in glory, When He comes from His home in the sky;
then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion, We’ll understand it all by and by.
