A Little While

By GEO. W. HOWARD

GEO. W. HOWARD

A little while—take courage, brother pilgrims, Soon this dark night of weeping will be gone; 'Tis always darkest just before the morning, We know the glory soon will on us dawn.

A little while to preach the gospel message, To warn the world of its approaching doom; He who proves true unto his heavenly calling, Will gather sheaves for that eternal home.

A little while to labor for the Master; Let us be strong and at our troubles smile; Trusting in Jesus, we shall brave each danger, And rest at home in just a little while.

A little while, and he will come in glory; A little while, then I shall see my Lord; A little while,—proclaim to all the story,— That Jesus comes the faithful to reward.

No time to wait, improve the passing moments, The little while grows shorter day by day; God's work demands that every soul be earnest, To seek for lost ones who have gone astray.

Then he who goeth forth with weeping, Shall doubtless come again with joy erelong, Bringing the sheaves that he has gathered with him, To join the reapers in the harvest song.
