Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
|
Why it should be thus all 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
|
