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 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 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 'til 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 gates 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 Yes, we'll understand it all, by and by
