Lyrics

[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

[Verse 2]

When death has come and taken our loved ones

It leaves a home so lonely and drear

Then do we wonder why others prosper

Living so wicked year after year?

[Verse 3]

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 4]

"Faithful till 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 gates

[Verse 5]

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

Yes we'll understand it all by and by
