Farther Along

(W.B. Stevens - J.R. Baxter)



Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder

Why should it be thus all the day long

When 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



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...
