Representative Text

1 A little while, and we shall be
Where sin shall never dwell;
A little while, and we shall live
Where songs of triumph swell.

Refrain:
A little while, and we shall see
Our Saviour face to face,
And we shall sing through endless years
The wonders of His grace.

2 A little while, and we shall stand
Amid the blood-washed throng,
A little while, and we shall sing
The everlasting song. [Refrain]

3 A little while, and we shall meet
The loved ones gone before,
And we shall clasp their hands again
On yonder radiant shore. [Refrain]

4 A little while, and we shall hear
The Saviour’s whisper, “Come!”
And we shall ever dwell with Him
In our eternal home. [Refrain]
