| 1 A little while together We tread life’s onward way, And gather up its roses,— Frail blossoms of a day,— And then a place is vacant, A step is heard no more, And one, and then another, We cross to yonder shore. Refrain: A little while together, Then all of earth is o’er, And one, and then another, We cross to yonder shore. 2 A little while together For social prayer we meet, And blend our happy voices Around the mercy seat; Then hands are clasped in silence, And, when we meet again, We miss a link that sparkled In friendship’s hallowed chain. [Refrain] 3 Oh, who would dwell forever In this bleak world of care, Away from him who calls us To mansions bright and fair? Where years and countless ages Flow on in ceaseless joy, And songs of praise and glory Our raptured tongues employ? [Refrain] | On Joyful Wing : A Book of Praise and Song #95 (1886) |
