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 

[ strings ] 

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 

Farther along...
