Author: Jennie Ree Hymnal: Rodeheaver's Gospel Solos and Duets #93 (1925) First Line: A little while to gather flow'rs Lyrics: 1 A little while to gather flow’rs
That blossom in life's morning hours;
A little while to dream away
The glories of the bright spring day,
A little while, A little while.
2 A little while, and we may weep
O'er forms grown cold in death's last sleep;
A little while to pray and mourn
Where friends from love's strong arms are torn,—
A little while, A little while.
3 A little while to toil and strive
Where, mid the wheat, the tares may thrive;
A little while—and then shall I
Beneath the drooping willows lie—
A little while, A little while.
4 A little while, and we may meet
Where ransomed souls each other greet;
A little while, and angels fair,
With songs shall make us welcome there—
A little while, A little while.
