(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
