Text: | Only a Little While |
Author: | G. W. S. |
Tune: | [Only a little while, to walk with weary feet] |
Composer: | G. W. Sederquist |
1. Only a little while, to walk with weary feet,
Only a little while, the storms of life to meet;
Only a little while, to tread the thorny way,
Only a little while, then comes the perfect day.
Chorus:
Then we'll wait the little while,
Yes, we'll wait the little while;
We will wait the little while,
Till the Saviour calls, Come home.
2. Only a little while, to spread the truth abroad,
Only a little while, to testify for God;
Only a little while, the time is fleeting fast,
Only a little while, earth's sorrows will be past. [Chorus]
3. Only a little while, then let us do our best,
Only a little while, then comes the promised rest;
Only a little while, O what a word is this,
Only a little while, then comes the perfect bliss. [Chorus]
4. Only a little while, then death shall be withdrawn,
Only a little while, then pain and tears all gone;
Only a little while, then by the crystal sea,
Only a little while, then immortality. [Chorus]
5. Only a little while; Lord, let Thy kingdom come,
Only a little while, Thy people sigh for home;
Only a little while, the city bring to sight,
Only a little while, come end earth's dreary night. [Chorus]
