Farther Along
Tempted and tried
We’re oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus
All the day long
And while there are others
Living about us
Never molested
Though in the wrong

Farther along we’ll
Know all about it
And farther along we’ll
Understand why;
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
We’ll understand it
All by and by

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
Farther along we’ll
Know all about it
And farther along we’ll
Understand why;
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
We’ll understand it
All by and by
