70. Just a Little While

1 We shall walk life’s thorny ways,
Just a little while,
Burdened by a heavy cross,
Just a little while.
Shadows o’er our path will fall,
But our Father knoweth all,
On His name we’ll trusting call,
Just a little while.

Refrain:
Just a little while,
Yes, just a little while,
To live and love and work for Him,
Encouraged by His smile.
Just a little while,
Yes, just a little while,
To live and love and work for Him,
Encouraged by His smile.

2 We shall suffer grief and pain
Just a little while,
Face the stormy winds that blow,
Just a little while.
Though the night be dark and long,
He will help us to be strong,
Give to each a victor’s song,
Just a little while. [Refrain]

3 We can say brave words of cheer,
Just a little while,
Tell of Jesus’ deathless love,
Just a little while.
Let us ever ready be
With our help and sympathy,
God has need of you and me
Just a little while. [Refrain]
