Farther Along |
| 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 |
| When death has come and 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' said our loving Master; |
| Short is our time to labor and wait; |
| Then will our toiling seem to be nothing |
| When we shall pass that beautiful gate |
| Soon we will see our dear, loving Master |
| Hear the last trumpet sound through the sky; |
| Then we will meet those gone on before us |
| Then we shall know and understand why |
