  5  6   5    4      5    -4   4  -4  4  4
Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder,
 5   6   -6    6   5    6   -5  5   -4 
Why it should be thus, all the day long;
  5     6    5   4  5   -4 4  -4 4   4
While there are others living about us,
 5 6   -6 6  5   -4  5  -4   4
Never molested, tho in the wrong.

chorus
 5   6  -6  6     5    -4   4  -4 4   4
Farther a-long, we'll know all about it,
 5   6  -6  6     5    6 -5  5    -4
Farther a-long, we'll understand why;
  5    6  5   4  5    -4   4  -4  4   4
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
  5    6  -6  6   5    -4  5  -4  4
We'll understand I-t, all by and by. 

verse 2
When death 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.

verse 3
Faithful till death, said our loving Master
A few more days to labor and wait,
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweep through the beautiful gate.

verse 4
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,
We'll understand it all by and by.
