"A little while" -- the Lord shall come, And we shall journey here no more; He'll take us to His Father's home, Where He for us is gone before, To dwell with Him, to see His face, And sing the glories of His grace. | |
| 2 |
"A little while" -- He'll come again; Let us the precious hours redeem; No more to grieve and give Him pain, Our joy to serve and follow Him. Watching and ready may we be, As those that wait their Lord to see. | |
| 3 |
"A little while" -- 'twill soon be past; Why should we shun the promised cross? O let us in His footsteps haste, Counting for Him all else but loss! For how will recompense His smile The suff'rings of this "little while!" | |
| 4 |
"A little while" -- come, Saviour, come! For Thee Thy saints have tarried long; O take Thy waiting pilgrims home, To sing the new eternal song, To see Thy glory, and to be In everything conformed to Thee! | |
