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.
Farther along we'll know all about it.
Farther along we'll understand why.
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine;
We'll understand it all by and by.
When death has come and taken our loved ones,
Leaving our homes so lone and so drear,
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living as sinners year after year.
Farther along we'll know all about it.
Farther along we'll understand why.
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine;
We'll understand it all by and by.
Often I wonder why I must journey
Over a road so rugged and steep,
While there are others living in comfort
While with the lost I labour and weep.
Farther along we'll know all about it.
Farther along we'll understand why.
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine;
We'll understand it all by and by.
"Faithful to death," saith our loving Master,
Only a while to labour and wait;
All of our toils will be soon forgotten
When we sweep through the beautiful gate.
Farther along we'll know all about it.
Farther along we'll understand why.
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine;
We'll understand it all by and by.
Soon with the Lord, our wonderful Saviour,
We'll be at home beyond the blue sky,
There we will meet the dear ones a-waiting,
We'll understand it all by and by.
Farther along we'll know all about it.
Farther along we'll understand why.
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine;
We'll understand it all by and by.
