Great Revival Hymns ‎#99

99. ‘Twill not Be Long

1 ‘Twill not be long till all the shadows
Of earthly care shall pass away,
While from the land of endless morning,
Shall dawn the souls eternal day.

Refrain:
‘Twill not be long till Jesus calls me,
‘Twill not be long before I sing,
The glory song through countless ages,
Of victory through Christ my King.

2 ‘Twill not be long till I shall see Him,
The one who bore the cross for me,
His gift of love shall be my story,
My song through all eternity. [Refrain]

3 ‘Twill not be long till He will call me,
to cross the silent, moving tide,
‘Tis then I’ll look beyond the river,
And there behold my Lord and Guide. [Refrain]
