lyrics

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.

Refrain:
Farther along we’ll know more about it,
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother,
Go live in your sunshine,
We’ll understand it all by and by.

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'd walked in God’s wicked 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.

Refrain:
Farther along we’ll know more about it,
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up, my sister,
Go live in your loving,
We’ll understand it all by and by.

Days pass as trials test our loving patience,
Holding so close dear, the days we loved best.
Want to know better, want to forget how, much the pain hurts deep, inside my chest

“Fateful in death,” saith the keeper of fire;
Short is our time to labor in wait;
Then may our toiling seem to be nothing,
When will we tend to our souls dreary state?

Refrain:
Farther along we’ll know more about it,
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up, my sibling,
Go live in your own light,
We’ll understand it all by and by.

Soon we will see our, dear loving Family.
The sparrows song soars through, cerulean skies;
May we tend to the garden of our love,
Then we shall know and understand why.

Then we shall know and understand why.
