FARTHER ALONG

Words and music: W. B. Stevens

(D)Tempted and tried, (D7)we're (G)oft made to (D)wonder,
Why it should be thus (E7)all the day (A)long,
(D)While there are oth(D7)ers (G)living a(D)bout us,
Never molested, (A)though in the (D)wrong

Chorus:
(D)Farther along (D7)we'll (G)know all a(D)bout it,
Farther along we'll (E7)understand (A)why,
(D)Cheer up, my broth(D7)er, (G)live in the (D)sunshine,
We'll understand it (A)all by and (D)by

(D)When death has come (D7)and (G)taken a (D)loved one,
Leaving our home so (E7)empty and (A)drear,
(D)Then do we won(D7)der (G)why others (D)prosper,
Living so wicked (A)year after (D)year

Chorus:
(D)Farther along (D7)we'll (G)know all a(D)bout it,
Farther along we'll (E7)understand (A)why,
(D)Cheer up, my broth(D7)er, (G)live in the (D)sunshine,
We'll understand it (A)all by and (D)by

(D)"Faithful till death", (D7)said (G)our loving (D)Master,
A few more days (E7)to labour and (A)wait,
(D)Toils of the road (D7)will (G)then seem as no(D)thing,
As we sweep through the (A)beautiful (D)gate

Chorus:
(D)Farther along (D7)we'll (G)know all a(D)bout it,
Farther along we'll (E7)understand (A)why,
(D)Cheer up, my broth(D7)er, (G)live in the (D)sunshine,
We'll understand it (A)all by and (D)by

(D)When we see Jes(D7)us (G)coming in (D)glory,
When He comes from His (E7)Home in the (A)sky,
(D)Then we shall meet (D7)Him (G)in that bright (D)Mansion,
We'll understand it (A)all by and (D)by

Chorus:
(D)Farther along (D7)we'll (G)know all a(D)bout it,
Farther along we'll (E7)understand (A)why,
(D)Cheer up, my broth(D7)er, (G)live in the (D)sunshine,
We'll understand it (A)all by and (D)by
