Only a little while, to walk with weary feet, Only a little while, the storms of life to meet; Only a little while, to tread the thorny way, Only a little while, then comes the perfect day. Chorus: Then we'll wait the little while, Yes, we'll wait the little while; We will wait the little while, Till the Saviour calls, Come home. 2. Only a little while, to spread the truth abroad, Only a little while, to testify for God; Only a little while, the time is fleeting fast, Only a little while, earth's sorrows will be past.

Only a little while, then let us do our best, Only a little while, then comes the promised rest; Only a little while, O what a word is this, Only a little while, then comes the perfect bliss. [Chorus] 4. Only a little while, then death shall be withdrawn, Only a little while, then pain and tears all gone; Only a little while, then by the crystal sea, Only a little while, then immortality. [Chorus] 5. Only a little while; Lord, let Thy kingdom come, Only a little while, Thy people sigh for home; Only a little while, the city bring to sight, Only a little while, come end earth's dreary night.
