Tempted And Tried (Farther Along, Organ, 4 Verses)

Tempted And Tried: Lyrics

Tempted and tried we’re oft made to wonder,
Why it should be thus all day long;
While others are living about us,
Never molested though in the wrong.

Refrain:
Farther along we’ll know all about it,
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up, don’t worry, 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. Refrain

Faithful till death said our loving Master,
A few more days to labor and wait;
Toils of the road will then seem like nothing,
As we sweep through the beautiful gate. Refrain

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. Refrain
