FARTHER ALONG
Author(s): John Phoenix, Emmanuel, Julia
Songbook: Compiled LJ Songs
KeyWords: Death and Heaven,Faith and Trust,

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

Chorus:
Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther 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 a loved one,
Leaving our home so empty and drear,
Then do we wonder why others prosper,
Living so wicked year after year

Chorus:
Farther along we'll know all 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 till death", said our loving Master,
A few more days to labour and wait,
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing,
As we sweep through the beautiful gate

Chorus:
Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why,
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by

When we see Jesus coming in glory,
When He comes from His Home in the sky,
Then we shall meet Him in that bright Mansion,
We'll understand it all by and by

Chorus:
Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why,
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by

[Repeat Chorus]
