Tempted and tried we're often 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

Farther along we'll know all about it

Farther along we'll understand why

Cheer up my brother living 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

Well understand it all by and by

Farther along we'll know all about it

Farther along we'll understand why

Cheer up my brother living in the sunshine

We'll understand it all by and by

We'll understand it all by and by

We'll understand it all by and by

All by and by
