Farther Along

Two verses of "Farther Along" were used in the soundtrack of Winter's Bone. It's a performance I like.

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.	Soon we will see our dear, loving Savior, Hear the last trumpet sound through the sky; Then we will meet those gone on before us, Then we shall know and understand why.
Farther along we’ll know all about it, Farther along we’ll understand why; Cheer up, my sister, live in the sunshine, We’ll understand it all by and by.	Often when death has taken our loved ones, Leaving our home so lone and so drear, Then do we wonder why others prosper, Living so wicked year after year.
Sometimes I wonder why must I suffer, Out in the rain, the cold, and the snow, When there are many living in comfort, Giving no heed to all that I know.	“Faithful till death,” saith our loving Master; Short is our time to labor and wait; Then will our toiling seem to be nothing, When we shall pass the heavenly gate.
Tempted and tried, how often we question Why we must suffer year after year, Being accused by those of our loved ones, E’en though we’ve walked in God’s holy fear.
