Author: Charles H. Gabriel Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7350 First Line: Just a few more days to be filled with praise Refrain First Line: I'll exchange my cross for a starry crown Lyrics: 1. Just a few more days to be filled with praise,
And to tell the old, old story;
Then, when twilight falls, and my Savior calls,
I shall go to Him in glory.
Refrain
I’ll exchange my cross for a starry crown,
Where the gates swing outward never;
At His feet I’ll lay every burden down,
And with Jesus reign forever.
2. Just a few more years with their toil and tears,
And the journey will be ended;
Then I’ll be with Him, where the tide of time
With eternity is blended. [Refrain]
3. Though the hills be steep and the valleys deep,
With no flowers my way adorning;
Though the night be lone and my rest a stone,
Joy awaits me in the morning. [Refrain]
4. What a joy ’twill be when I wake to see
Him for Whom my heart is burning!
Nevermore to sigh, nevermore to die,
For that day my heart is yearning. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Just a few more days to be filled with praise]
Where the Gates Swing Outward Never
