Farther Along

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. (These little troubles are getting us ready for an eternal glory that will make all our troubles seem like nothing.) ~ 2 Cor. 4:17

Farther Along
by W. B. Stevens

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.

Chorus:
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.
