Representative Text

1 Only a little more sorrow,
Only a little more pain;
Only a little more sighing—
Jesus is coming again.
Then, if I have been accepted,
Dying shall be my gain;
I shall be freed from its sorrows,
Jesus is coming again.

2 Only a little while longer,
Chilled by the blasts of the wind;
Only a few passing shadows,
Only a few sheaves to bind.
Jesus, I know, will be waiting,
Waiting for me to come;
And when the grain is all garnered,
Reapers shall shout, "Harvest Home."
