The song Farther Along is performed by Emmylou Harris in the album named Portraits in the year 2008 .
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 a 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
