Farther Along (Live)

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 more about it

Farther along we'll understand why

Cheer up

My brother

Live in the sunshine

We'll understand it all by and by

Sometimes I wonder why I must suffer

Go in the rain

The cold

And the snow

When there are many living in comfort

Giving no heed to all I can do

Tempted and tried

How often we question

Why we must suffer year after year

Being accused by those of our loved ones

E'en though we've walked in god's holy fear

Often when death has taken our loved ones

Leaving our home so lone and so drear

Then do we wonder why others prosper

Living so wicked year after year

Faithful till death saith our loving master

Short is our time to labor and wait

Then will our toiling seem to be nothing

When we shall pass the heavenly gate

Soon we will see our dear

Loving savior

Hear the last trumpet sound through the sky

Then we will meet those gone on before us

Then we shall know and understand why
