Lyrics:

(We'll understand it all by and by)
Tempted and tried will oft' me to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never more missed it, going alone

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

When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year

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
