Further along we'll know all about it,
Further along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brothers, live in the sunshine;
We'll understand it all by and by
When we see Jesus coming in glory,
When He comes down from His home in the sky,
Then we shall see him in that bright meadow;
We'll understand it all by and by
Further along we'll know all about it,
Further along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brothers, live in the sunshine;
We'll understand it all by and by
Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be so all the day long;
While there are others living in sunshine,
Never molested, though in the wrong.
Further along we'll know all about it,
Further along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brothers, live in the sunshine;
We'll understand it all by and by
Why in this world are people deceiving
All those who (?), all those who try
Always forgiving, never receiving
We'll understand it all by and by
Further along we'll know all about it,
Further along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brothers, live in the sunshine;
We'll understand it all by and by
