A Little While.
TO ANNIE.
Only a few years longer
To tread the thorny road,
And then we shall rest
In the land of the blest—
The city of our God.
To tread the thorny road,
And then we shall rest
In the land of the blest—
The city of our God.
Only a little more patience
In sorrow and distress,
Then the victory won—
God's will being done—
He will be sure to bless.
In sorrow and distress,
Then the victory won—
God's will being done—
He will be sure to bless.
Only a little more climbing,
Then you and I will stand
On the topmost height,
And, clothed in white,
Enter the promised land.
Then you and I will stand
On the topmost height,
And, clothed in white,
Enter the promised land.
Only a few more struggles
With the world, the flesh, and sin,
Then we'll reach the gate
And with those that wait
And believe, we'll enter in.
With the world, the flesh, and sin,
Then we'll reach the gate
And with those that wait
And believe, we'll enter in.
Only a few more storms, dear,
And the voyage will be o'er,
And the danger past,
We shall anchor fast
On the eternal shore.
And the voyage will be o'er,
And the danger past,
We shall anchor fast
On the eternal shore.
