Tempted & 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

Faithful 'til death said, our loving Master
A few more days to, labor & 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,
And we'll understand it, all by & by

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 & by
