LITTLE while, our warfare shall be over;

A little while, our tears be wiped away;

A little while, the power of Jehovah

Shall turn our darkness into gladsome day.

A little while, the fears that oft surround us

Shall to the memories of the past belong;

A little while, the love that sought and found us

Shall change our weeping into Heaven’s glad song.

A little while! ‘Tie ever drawing nearer—

The brighter dawning of that glorious day.

Blest Savior, make our spirit’s vision clearer,

And guide, O guide us in the shining way!

A little while, O blessed expectation!

For strength to run with patience, Lord, we cry;

Our hearts up-leap in fond anticipation;

Our union with the Bridegroom draweth nigh.
