77.  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 brother, live in the sunshine, We’ll understand it all by and by.

2.

“Faithful till death,” saith our loving Master; A few more years to labor and wait; Toils of the road will then seem as nothing, As we sweep through the beautiful gate.

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.

3.

When we see Jesus coming in glory, Gather us to him up in the sky; Then we shall meet him and praise him ever, 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, We’ll understand it all by and by.
