1 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.
Refrain:
Then we’ll wait a little while,
Yes, we’ll wait and with a smile
We will wait a 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 all are past. [Refrain]
3 Only a little while, then death shall be withdrawn,
Only a little while, then pain and tears are gone;
Only a little while, then by the crystal sea,
Only a little while, then immortality. [Refrain]
4 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. [Refrain]
