Father Along by Rev. W. B. Stevens and J.R. Baxter, Jr. "Written in November 1900, by W.B. Stevens of Queen City, Missouri, 'Farther Along' was composed for Mrs. Benedict, a singing evangelist. Before it was printed, Stevens himself had sung it in Fort Scott, Kansas. 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. 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. "Faithful till 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. 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. Buy the song Farther Along
