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 Farther along we'll know all about it Farther along we'll understand why Cheer up, my sister, live in the sunshine 'Cause we'll understand it all by and by Sometimes I wonder why must I suffer Out in the rain, the cold and the snow? When there are many living in comfort Giving no heed to all that I know Farther along we'll know all about it Farther along we'll understand why Cheer up, my sister, live in the sunshine 'Cause we'll understand it all by and by Often when death has taken our loved ones Leaving 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 Oh, cheer up, my sister, live in the sunshine 'Cause we'll understand it all by and by Yeah, we'll understand it all by and by
