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.
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.
Sometimes I Wonder Why I Must Suffer,
Go In The Rain, The Cold, And The Snow,
When There Are Many Living In Comfort,
Giving No Heed To All I Can Do.
Tempted And Tried, How Often We Question
Why We Must Suffer Year After Year
Being Accused By Those Of Our Loved Ones,
Even Though We’ve Walked In God’s Holy Fear.
Often When Death Has Taken Our Loved Ones
Leaving Our Home So Lone And So Drear,
Then Do We Wonder Why Others Prosper,
Living So Wicked Year After Year.
“Faithful Till Death,” Saith Our Loving Master
Short Is Our Time To Labor And Wait;
Then Will Our Toiling Seem To Be Nothing,
When We Shall Pass The Heavenly Gate.
Soon We Will See Our Dear, Loving Savoir,
Hear The Last Trumpet Sound Through The Sky;
Then We Will Meet Those Gone On Before Us
Then We Shall Know And Understand Why.
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.
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 Thru’ The Beautiful Gate.
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.
