Farther Along

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Father 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

[Verse 2]
When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wondеr why others prosper
Living so wicked yеar after year

[Chorus]
Father 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

[Verse 3]
When we see Jesus coming in glory
When he comes from his home in the sky
Then he shall bid us to that bright mansion
We'll understand it all by and by

[Chorus]
Father 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
