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
