Representative Text

1 A little while to sow and reap,
And then away to Jesus;
A little while our watch to keep,
And then away to Jesus.

Refrain:
To Jesus, to Jesus,
Away, away to Jesus,
To feast the soul, while ages roll,
And shout the love of Jesus.

2 A little while on earth to meet,
And then away to Jesus;
To feel the bliss of union sweet,
And then away to Jesus. [Refrain]

3 A little while our crown to win,
And then away to Jesus;
A few more vict’ries over sin,
And then away to Jesus. [Refrain]

4 A little while to part in tears,
And then away to Jesus;
A few more days, a few more years,
And then away to Jesus. [Refrain]
