A Little While.

A LITTLE while to walk this weary road; A little while to bear this heavy load; Then all our earthly pilgrimage shall cease, And we shall wear the crown in perfect peace.
A little while to love with earthly love, And then we share the "fullness" from above; A little time of darkness and of doubt, Then the bright home whose light shall ne'er go out.
A little toil and sadness here below; A little time to watch and plant and sow; Then Jesus calls his laborers away, Where everlasting joy and gladness stay.
A little while of storm and wind and rain, And then the shining haven we shall gain; A little time to toss on life's rough sea, Then in that perfect home our rest shall be.
A little while! O Saviour make us strong To bear that little, though it oft seem long: Guide thou our way with thine own loving hand, Till we shall enter in the promised land. [New York Observer.
