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 tho in the wrong.

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.

Even if the wicked and evil are

prosperous and rebellious are at ease.

Do not envy those that are against us

and only wait upon our dear Lord.

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.

It will be not long before we will stand

before the Lord The tears of this world

Will disappear and you will receive

the crown of glory. Look at your reward.

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.

When the Lord comes down from Heaven He will

take us to the place He has prepared.

And there we will live with our dear Lord

eternally forevermore with Him.

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.
