Farther Along

Lyrics for 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 Further along we'll know more about it Further along we'll understand why Cheer up, my brother, come sing 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 shall we wonder why others prosper Living so wicked year after year Further along we'll know more about it Further along we'll understand why Cheer up, my brother, come sing in the sunshine We'll understand it all by and by "Faithful till death", said our loving Master A few more days to labor and wait Toils of the road will then seem as nothing When we pass through that beautiful gate Further along we'll know more about it Further along we'll understand why Cheer up, my brother, come sing in the sunshine We'll understand it all by and by We'll understand it all by and by
