Lyrics
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 more 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 dear
Thеn do we wonder why others prospеr
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
When Jesus coming, coming in glory
When He come 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 we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
He'll understand it all by and by
