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

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 we'll understand it all by and by

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

Then do we wonder why others prosper living so wicked year after year

Faithful till death said our loving Master a few more days to labor and wait

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