Farther Along

(weÂ’ll understand it all by and by)
Tempted and tried weÂ’re oftÂ’ 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 weÂ’ll know more about it
Farther along weÂ’ll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
WeÂ’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 weÂ’ll know more about it
Farther along weÂ’ll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
WeÂ’ll understand it all by and by
