TEMPTATION

'Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long,
While there should be others living about us,
Never molested, though in the wrong.

Farther along we'll know all about it,
Father along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.'

Southern Folk Hymn in Russell D Moore, Tempted and Tired: Temptation and the Triumph of Christ, p.13.
