Tempted and tried we're oft 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 brothers live 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 join him in that great mansion We'll understand it all by and by When d**h has come and taken our loved ones It leaves our home so lonely and drear Then do we wonder why others prosper Living so wicked year after year Faithful till d**h said our loving Master A few more days to labor and wait Toils of the road will them seem as nothing As we sweep through the beautiful gates
