Farther Along
[Verse 1: Terry Taylor]
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

[Verse 2: Derri Daugherty]
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

[Chorus: Derri Daugherty]
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

[Verse 3: Gene Eugene]
"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 gaze
[Verse 4: Michael Roe]
When we see Jesus coming in glory
When he comes home, his home in the sky
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion
And we'll understand it all by and by

[Chorus: Michael Roe]
Farther along, we'll know all about it
Farther along, we'll understand why
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine
And we'll understand it all by and by
We'll understand it all by and by
