Farther Along - Bill Anderson

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

When death has come and taken our loved ones, it leaves our home so lonely and

dreary

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

Cheer up, my brother;

live in the sunshine, we’ll understand it all by and by

Faithful till death said our loving master;

a few more days to labor and wait

Toils of the road will then seem as nothing as we sweep through the beautiful

gates

Farther along we’ll know all about it…

Yes, we’ll understand it all by and by
