A LITTLE WHILE.

“A little while,” our Lord shall come, And we shall wander here no more; He’ll take us to our Father’s home, Where he has for us gone before— To dwell with him, to see his face, And sing the glories of his grace.
“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, And those that long their Lord to see.
“A little while,”—’twill soon be past; Why should we shun the promised cross? Oh, let us in his footsteps haste, Counting for him all else but loss: For how will recompense his smile The sufferings of this “little while”!
“A little while,”—come, Saviour, come! For thee the church has tarried long; Take thy poor, wearied pilgrims home, To sing the new eternal song— To sing thy glory, and to be In every thing conformed to thee!
