Cat. #0596 (MFH #195) - As sung by Bessie Passmore, Seneca, Missouri on July 5, 1961
VERSE 1
Tempted and tried we're of't made to wonder
Why it should be thus all th day long
While there are others living about us
Never, no less __ ___ __ __ though in th wrong
CHORUS:
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up, my Brother, live in th sunshine
We'll understand it all bye an' bye
VERSE 2
When death has come an' taken our loved ones
It leaves our homes so lonely an' drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
VERSE 3
Faithful till death, said our loving Master
A few more days to labor and wait
Toils - on th road, will then seem as nothing
As we sweep thru that beautiful gate
VERSE 4
When we see Jesus, coming in glory
When He comes from His home in th sky
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion
We'll understand it all bye an' bye
