Hymn 167 - ""A little while" - the Lord shall come,"

"A little while"—theLord shall come,

And we shall journey here no more;

He'll take us to His Father's home,

Where He for us is gone before,

To dwell with Him, to see His face,

And sing the glories of His grace.

 "A little while"—He'll come again;

Let us the precious hours redeem;

No more to grieve and give Him pain,

Our joy to serve and follow Him.

Watching and ready may we be,

As those that wait their Lord to see.

 "A little while"—'twill soon be past;

Why shouldweshunthe promised cross ?

O let us in His footsteps haste,

Counting for Him all else but loss!

For how will recompense His smile

The suff'rings of this "little while!"

"A little while"—come, Saviour, come!

For   Thee   Thy   saints   have tarried long;

O take Thy waiting pilgrims home,

To sing the new eternal song,

To see Thy glory, and to be

In everything conformed to Thee!
