Farther Along
Tempted and tried, were 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.
When death has come and taken our loved ones,
Leaving our home so lone and so drear,
Then do we wonder why others prosper,
Living so wicked year after year.
Farther along well know all about it,
Farther along well understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
Well understand it all by and by.
Sometimes I wonder why I must suffer,
Go in the rain, the cold, and the snow,
When there are many living in comfort,
Giving no heed to all I can do.
Faithful till death, saith our loving Master;
A few more days to labor and wait;
Then will our toiling seem to be nothing,
When we shall pass the heavenly gate.
Farther along well know all about it,
Farther along well understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
Well understand it all by and by.
When we see Jesus coming in glory,
When He comes from His home in the sky
then we'll go with Him to heaven's bright city
We'll understand it all by and by.
Farther along well know all about it,
Farther along well understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
Well understand it all by and by.
Why it should be thus all the day long;
While there are others living about us,
Never molested, though in the wrong.
When death has come and taken our loved ones,
Leaving our home so lone and so drear,
Then do we wonder why others prosper,
Living so wicked year after year.
Farther along well know all about it,
Farther along well understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
Well understand it all by and by.
Sometimes I wonder why I must suffer,
Go in the rain, the cold, and the snow,
When there are many living in comfort,
Giving no heed to all I can do.
Faithful till death, saith our loving Master;
A few more days to labor and wait;
Then will our toiling seem to be nothing,
When we shall pass the heavenly gate.
Farther along well know all about it,
Farther along well understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
Well understand it all by and by.
When we see Jesus coming in glory,
When He comes from His home in the sky
then we'll go with Him to heaven's bright city
We'll understand it all by and by.
Farther along well know all about it,
Farther along well understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
Well understand it all by and by.
