A Little While
Author: Anon. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: A little while, oh hands Lyrics: 1 A little while, oh hands,
Of labor weary;
The days of toil are short,
Tho’ dark and dreary;
The coming time is glad and blest,
With full and perfect peace and rest,
After a little while.
2 A little while, oh feet,
All torn and bleeding;
This way will bring thee home,
And Christ is leading.
Soon thou shalt find cool waters sweet,
And pleasant pathways for thy feet,
After a little while.
3 A little while, oh eyes,
Thy love watch keeping;
A few more bitter tears,
Then no more weeping;
Beyond the reach of grief and pain
Thy loved ones thou shalt see again,
After a little while.
4 A little while, oh brow,
With fever burning;
These hours of noonday heat
Have no returning;
Life’s later hours are full of calm,
And eventide shall bring thee balm,
After a little while.
5 A little while, oh heart,
With sorrow breaking,
A few more hours of night,
And then comes waking;
And lasting comfort shall be given
When breaks the golden day of heaven,
After a little while.

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "A Little While" in Light and Life Songs In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
