In a Little While More

Verse 1

In a little while more, these rolling years No more will come and go; In a little while more, our busy hands No more the seed will sow; In a little while more, the harvest grounds Will yield their golden wheat; In a little while more, our precious store We’ll lay at Jesus feet.

Chorus

In a little while more, Little while more, Safe among the blest, Where sorrow and toil are felt no more, Our weary feet shall rest.

Verse 2

In a little while more, the friends we love Will pass from earth away; In a little while more, the bells of time Will ring the close of day; In a little while more, the Bridegroom’s voice Will sound the midnight cry; In a little while more, we too shall go Where love can never die.

Verse 3

In a little while more, the storms we dread In holy calm will cease; In a little while more, the tears we shed Will bring the light of peace; In a little while more, a morn will come To aching hearts oppressed; In a little while more, our sheaves we’ll bind, And then, eternal rest.
