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.

Farther along we'll know 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 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.

Soon with the Lord our wonderful savior

We'll be at home beyond the blue sky.

There we shall meet the dear ones awaiting

We'll understand it all by and by.
