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

Further along we'll know more about it

Further along we'll understand why

Cheer up, my brother, come sing 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 shall we wonder why others prosper

Living so wicked year after year

Further along we'll know more about it

Further along we'll understand why

Cheer up, my brother, come sing in the sunshine

We'll understand it all by and by

"Faithful till death", said our loving Master

A few more days to labor and wait

Toils of the road will then seem as nothing

When we pass through that beautiful gate

Further along we'll know more about it

Further along we'll understand why

Cheer up, my brother, come sing in the sunshine

We'll understand it all by and by

We'll understand it all by and by
