Tempted and tried we often do wonder,
Why it should be thus all the day long;
While there are others living about us,
Never molested, though living wrong.
Further along we'll know more about it,
Further along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
When death has come and taken our loved ones,
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear;
Then we do wonder why others prosper,
Living so wicked year after year.
Further along we'll know more about it,
Further along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
Often I wonder why I must leave home,
Go in the rain, the cold and the snow,
While there are others living in confort,
Giving no heed to all I can do.
Further along we'll know more about it,
Further along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
Faithful till death, saith our loving Saviour,
Just a while longer labor and wait;
These trials here will seem to be nothing,
When we sweep thro' the beautiful gate.
Further along we'll know more about it,
Further along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
