Farther Along 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 all about it.
Farther along, we'll understand why,
Cheer up my brothers, 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 so drear,
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year.
"Faithful to death," saith our loving Master,
A few more days to labour and wait;
Tails of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweep through the beautiful gates.
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 understand why,
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all, by and by.
It leaves our home so lonely and so drear,
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year.
A few more days to labour and wait;
Tails of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweep through the beautiful gates.
