FARTHER ALONG

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.

CHORUS
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,
It leaves our home
so lonely and drear;
Then do we wonder
why others prosper
Living so wicked year
after year.

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 gate.

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.
FARTHER ALONG
