    • Verse 1
    The 
    story is told 
    of a 
    young man 

    who 
    was preparing for a 
    long 
    trip. 

    He 
    told his friend, 
    I 
    am 
    just about 
    packed. 

    I 
    only have to put in 
    a guide
    book, 
    a mirror, 

    a micro
    scope, 
    a lamp, 
    a telescope, 

    a volume of 
    fine poetry, 

    a package of old 
    letters, 

    a few biographies, 

    a book of songs, 
    a 
    sword, 

    a hammer, 

    and a set of 
    books I've been studying. 

    But you can't 
    get 
    all that into 

    your bag," 

    said his 
    friend. 

    Oh, yes, 
    I can, he replied. 

    It doesn't take 
    much room. 

    With that, 
    he placed 
    his Bib
    le 

    in the corner 
    of his suitcase 

    and 
    closed the lid. 

    Tempted 
    and tried, 

    we're 
    oft made 
    to 
    wonder 

    Why 
    it 
    should be 
    thus 
    all the 
    day 
    long, 


    While there 
    are others 
    liv
    ing 
    about 
    us, 


    Never molested, 
    though in 
    the 
    wrong. 

    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 
    com
    ing 
    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, 

    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

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
