pted 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
(Chorus)
Fa
rther 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
(Verse)
Wh
en death has come and taken our loves ones,
It leaves our home so lonely and drear;
Then do we wonder why others prosper,
Living so wicked year after year
(Chorus)
Fa
rther 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
(Verse)
Fait
hful 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 gate
(Chorus)
Fa
rther 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
(Verse)
Wh
en we see Jesus coming in glory,
When He comes down from His home in the sky;
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion,
We'll understand it all by and by
