A LITTLE WHILE
1. "A little
while" - the Lord shall come,
And we shall wander
here no more;
He'll take us to
His Father's home,
Where He for us is
gone before -
To dwell with Him,
to see His face,
And sing the
glories of His grace.
2. "A little
while" - He'll come again;
Let us the precious
hours redeem;
Our only grief to
give Him pain,
Our joy to serve
and follow Him.
Watching and ready
may we be,
As those that wait
their Lord to see.
3. "A little
while" - 'twill soon be past,
Why should we shun
the promised cross?
O let us in His
footsteps haste,
Counting for Him
all else but loss;
For how will
recompense His smile
The suff'rings of
this "little while."
4. "A little
while" - come, Saviour, come!
For Thee Thy bride
has tarried long;
Take Thy poor
waiting pilgrims home,
To sing the new
eternal song,
To see Thy glory,
and to be
In ey'rything
conformed to Thee!
