Tempt-ed and tried we're oft made to won-der Why it should be thus all the day long While there are oth-ers liv ing a bout us Ne-ver mo-lest-ed tho in the wrong Far-ther a-long we'll know all a-bout it Far-ther a-long we'll un-der-stand why Cheer up my broth-er live in the sun-shine We'll un-der-stand it all by and by
When death has come and ta-ken our loved ones It leaves our home so lone-ly and drear Then do we wan-der why oth-ers pros-per Living so wick-ed year aft-ter year
Faith-ful till death said our lov-ing Mas-ter A few more days to lab-or and wait Toils of the road will then seem as noth-ing As we sweep thru that beau-ti-ful gate
When we see Je-sus com-ming in glo-ry When He comes from His home in the sky Then we shall meet Him in that bright man-sion We'll un-der-stand it all by and by
