Tempted and tried,we’re oft made to wonderWhy 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."Faithful 'til death," said our loving masterA few more days to labor and waitToils of the road will then seem as nothingAs we sweep through the beautiful gatesFarther along, we'll know all about itFarther along, we'll understand whyCheer up my brother, live in the sunshineWe'll understand it all by and byYes we'll understand it all by and by
