003.Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstad & Dolly Parton

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.

When death has come

and taken our loved ones

It leaves our home so lonely and drear

And then do we wonder why others prosper

Living so wicked year after year

Farther along

we’ll know more 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 gates

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

Yes we'll understand it

all by and by
