#244 Farther Along

1. Tempt-ed and tried we're oft made to won-der Why it should be thus all the day long, While there are oth-ers liv-ing a-bout us, Nev-er mo-lest-ed tho in the wrong. Chorus: Far-ther a-long we'll know all a-bout it, Far-ther a-long we'll un-der-stand why; Cheer up, my broth-er, live in the sun-shine, We'll un-der-stand it all by and by. 2. When death has come and ta-ken our loved ones, It leaves our home so lone-ly and drear; Then do we won-der why oth-ers pros-per, Liv-ing so wick-ed year af-ter year 3. Faith-ful till death said our lo-ving Mas-ter, A few more days to la-bor and wait; Toils of the road will then seem as noth-ing, As we sweep thru the beau-ti-tul gate. 4. When we see Je-sus com-ing in glo-ry, When He comes from His home in the sky; Then we shall meet Him in that bright man-sion, We'll un-der-stand it all by and by. Chorus: Far-ther a-long we'll know all a-bout it, Far-ther a-long we'll un-der-stand why; Cheer up, my broth-er, live in the sun-shine, We'll un-der-stand it all by and by.
