Why it should be thus all the day long,
While there are others living about us,
Never molested tho' in the wrong.
Refrain:
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.
2 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]
3 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 thru the beautiful gate. [Refrain]
4 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] Topics: Trials and Tribulations Used With Tune: FARTHER ALONG

W. B. Stevens
b. 1862 Person Name: Rev. W. B. Stevens Author of "Farther Along" in Radio Favorites William Buel Stevens was born in 1862 in the Lawnridge community of Scotland County Missouri. His father, Buel Stevens was arrested along with a group of 80 “German Methodist," charged with mutiny in 1862. Buel was one of three soldiers made examples of and sent to the federal prison in Alton, IL; but all three were returned to service after appeals after 6 months in prison. William's uncle died suddenly of heart disease at 48 and his 17 year old son died the same way a couple of years later. This would have happened in Stevens’ late teens. William Buel Stevens and his wife became sanctified and joined the Church of God Holiness. They spent a few years as traveling tent evangelists. They established two church communities. One in Queen City Missouri and 1 in Moulton Iowa. He was a minister of the gospel until death, dying a year after his wife in the early 1940s. All of their babies died before them, some as small children, one Waldo at 19, and a daughter who may have lived a little longer. This may have shaped the feelings expressed in this song.

Lyrics--
After the Sunrise
Farther Along
God Shall Wipe Away All Tears (© 1940)
He Bore It All
I Have Peace in My Soul
I Hold His Hand (© 1929)
I Love My Savior, Too
I Want to Help Some Weary Pilgrim
I’m Living in Canaan Now
Living Grace
Praise the Lamb of God
Something Happens
Travel the Sunlit Way
Try Jesus
When He Blessed My Soul
When We Meet to Part No More

Person Name: Unknown Author of "Farther Along" in Timeless Truths In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
