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 tho' 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

(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

"Faithful to 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 the beautiful gate

(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 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

(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
