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 we see jesus coming in glory
When he comes Home 
From his home in the sky
Then we shall meet Him 
In that bright mansion 
And we'll understand it 
all by and by.

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
We'll understand it 
We'll understand it 
All by and by
by and by
