Rodeheaver's Gospel Solos and Duets ‎#93

93. A Little While

1 A little while to gather flow’rs
That blossom in life's morning hours;
A little while to dream away
The glories of the bright spring day,
A little while, A little while.

2 A little while, and we may weep
O'er forms grown cold in death's last sleep;
A little while to pray and mourn
Where friends from love's strong arms are torn,—
A little while, A little while.

3 A little while to toil and strive
Where, mid the wheat, the tares may thrive;
A little while—and then shall I
Beneath the drooping willows lie—
A little while, A little while.

4 A little while, and we may meet
Where ransomed souls each other greet;
A little while, and angels fair,
With songs shall make us welcome there—
A little while, A little while.
