In Just a Little While

lyricist: William Martin, 1900
Composer: George Holsinger

The ills of earth with God’s great love

I can­not re­con­cile;

But I shall un­der­stand it all

In just a lit­tle while.

In just a lit­tle while

Yes

just a lit­tle while

I shall be free from grief and guile

In just a lit­tle while.

The storms will soon ab­ate

and through

The clouds the sun will shine;

My God shall wipe my tears away

In just a lit­tle while.

Discouraged I would oft­en be—

My heart re­mains so vile;

Except I know I’ll be like Him

In just a lit­tle while.

Let men des­pise me if they will

Forsake me or re­vile;

Thank God

with Je­sus I shall reign

In just a lit­tle while.
