A FEW MORE YEARS SHALL ROLL
A Few More Years Shall Roll
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #61 (1927) Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest,
Asleep within the tomb.
A few more suns shall set
O'er these dark hills of time,
And we shall be where suns are not,
A far serener clime.
2 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more.
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more.
3 'Tis but a little while,
And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we with Him might reign;
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away. Topics: New Year Languages: English Tune Title: [A few more years shall roll]

And take my sins away.

O'er these dark hills of time,

My soul for that blest day;
Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.
3 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more:
Then, O my Lord, prepare

Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.

A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,

Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.

And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, Who lives
That we with Him may reign:

My soul for that glad day;
Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.
