A Little While, and He Will Come

A lit­tle while

and He will come

Then we shall wan­der here no more;

He comes to take us to that home

Where all our sor­rows will be o’er.

A lit­tle while

He’ll come again;

Let us the pre­cious hours re­deem;

Our great­est grief

to give Him pain

Our joy

to serve and fol­low Him.

A lit­tle while

’twill soon be past

Why should we shun the shame and cross?

Oh! let us in His foo­tsteps haste

Counting for Him all else as loss.

A lit­tle while—come

Sav­ior

come!

For Thee Thy church has wait­ed long;

Take Thy poor

wear­ied peo­ple home

To sing the new

un­end­ing song.
