Just A Little While
E.m. Bartlett
1921
1.
Soon this life will all be over
And our pilgrimage will end,
Soon we'll take our heavenly journey
Be at home again with friends
Heaven's gates are standing open,
Some sweet day we're going over,
All the beauties there to share.
Chorus
Just a little while to stay here,
Just a little while to wait,
Just a little while to labor
In the path that's always straight,
Just a little more of trouble
In this low and sinful state;
Then we'll enter heaven's portals,
Sweeping thru the pearly gates.
2.
Soon we'll see the light of morning,
Then the new day will begin,
Soon we'll hear the Father calling,
"Come, my children enter in;"
Then we'll hear a choir of angels,
Sing out the victory song,
All our troubles will be ended
And we'll live with heaven's throng
3.
Soon we'll meet again our loved ones
And we'll take them by the hand,
Soon we'll press them to our bosom
Over in the promised land
Then we'll be at home forever,
Thru out all eternity,
What a blessed, blessed morning
That eternal morn shall be!
