Joyful Lays ‎#90

90. In a Little while More

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.

Refrain:
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.

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
