Sunday Verse

I have always loved this hymn and it means even more to me this week than ever before.I find comfort in knowing that even though family and friends may turn on you and you are so overwhelmed, that my wondrous God knows the purpose and why of everything and all I need to do is trust in Him.

Farther Along

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.

Refrain:

Farther along we'll know all about it,

Farther along we'll understand why;

Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,

We'll understand it all by and by.
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.

Refrain:

Farther along we'll know all about it,

Farther along we'll understand why;

Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,

We'll understand it all by and by.
Faithful til 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.

Refrain:

Farther along we'll know all about it,

Farther along we'll understand why;

Cheer up my brother, 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 meet Him in that bright mansion,

We'll understand it all by and by.

Refrain:

Farther along we'll know all about it,

Farther along we'll understand why;

Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,

We'll understand it all by and by.
