Tempted and tried
We're oft made to wonder
Why it should take us
All the day long
While there are others
Living about us
Never molested
Though in the wrong.
Farther along
We'll know all about
Farther along
We'll understand why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
We'll understand it
All by and by.
--- Instrumental ---
When we see Jesus
Coming in glory
When he comes down 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
We'll know all about
Farther along
We'll understand why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
We'll understand it
All by and by.
We'll understand it
All by and by...
