Farther Along

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Terry Taylor] 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 [Verse 2: Derri Daugherty] When death has come and taken our loved ones It leaves our home so lonely and drear Then do we wonder why others prosper Living so wicked year after year [Chorus: Derri Daugherty] Farther along, we'll know all about it Farther along, we'll understand why Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine We'll understand it all by and by [Verse 3: Gene Eugene] "Faithful 'til death," said our loving master "A few more days to labor and wait" Toils of the road will then seem as nothing As we sweep through the beautiful gaze [Verse 4: Michael Roe] When we see Jesus coming in glory When he comes home, his home in the sky Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion And we'll understand it all by and by [Chorus: Michael Roe] Farther along, we'll know all about it Farther along, we'll understand why Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine And we'll understand it all by and by We'll understand it all by and by
