But I shall un­der­stand it all
Amid the sha­dows of earth’s lit­tle while.

A lit­tle while

And then to know the spir­it’s glad re­lease;
For the night will end in the ev­er­last­ing day,
For the night will end in the ev­er­last­ing day,
In just a lit­tle while,
To face the storm and wres­tle with the strong;
Heartbreak and sor­row,
Of walk­ing with wea­ry feet,
Then we shall wan­der here no more;
And we shall wan­der here no more;
Chilled by the blasts of the wind;
In suf­fer­ing you must learn to wait;
