Author: Eugene M. Bartlett Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #163 (1982) First Line: Soon this life will all be over Refrain First Line: Just a little while to stay here Lyrics: 1 Soon this life will all be over And our pilgrimage will end, Soon we’ll take our heav’nly journey, Be at home again with friends; Heaven’s gates are standing open, Waiting for our entrance there, Some sweet day we’re going over, All the beauties there to share. Refrain: Just a little while to stay here, Just a little while to wait, Just a little while to labor In the path that’s always straight, Just a little more of troubles, In this low and sinful state, Then we’ll enter Heaven’s portals, Sweeping through the pearly gates. 2 Soon we’ll see the light of morning Then the new day will begin, Soon we’ll hear the Father calling, “Come my children enter in;” Then we’ll hear a choir of angels, Singing out the vict’ry song, All our troubles will be ended And we’ll live with heaven’s throng. [Refrain] 3 Soon we’ll meet again our loved ones And we’ll take them by the hand, Soon we’ll press them to our bosom Over in the promised land; Then we’ll be at home forever, Throughout all eternity, What a blessed, blessed morning That eternal morn will be!
