The Voice of Praise ‎#1032

1032. A few more years shall roll

1 A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest
Asleep within the tomb.

Chorus:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day;
Oh, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!

2 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild, rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more.
[Chorus]

3 A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more.
[Chorus]

4 A few more Sabbaths here
Shall cheer us on our way,
And we shall reach the endless rest,
Th' eternal Sabbath day.
[Chorus]

5 'Tis but a little while,
And he shall come again
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we with him may reign.
[Chorus]
