The New Praiseworthy ‎#64

64. "Just a Little Longer"

1 Just a little longer to work for Jesus,
Days for earthly toil are short and few;
Just a little longer to fight life's battles,
And to prove thyself a soldier brave and true.

Chorus:
Just a little longer, just a little longer,
O my soul be patient, to the end endure;
Just a little longer the cross to bear,
Then a long eternity the crown to wear.

2 Just a little longer the seed to scatter
Out upon the harvest-fields so wide;
Just a little longer the sheaves to gather,
Coming with rejoicing at the eventide. [Chorus]

3 Just a little longer to lift the fallen,
Precious, never-dying souls to save;
Just a little longer to tell the story,
And to speed the message o'er the ocean wave. [Chorus]
