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 we see jesus coming in glory
When he comes from his home in the sky
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion
We'll understand it all by and by
Father 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
We'll understand it all by and by

Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

When he comes from his home in the sky
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion
We'll understand it all by and by
Father along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
