Farther Along

(We'll understand it all by and by)

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 brother, 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 lonely and drear

Then do we wonder how others prosper

Living so wicked year after year

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
