VERSE 1:
A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest
Asleep within the tomb;
A few more suns shall set
O’er these dark hills of time,
And we shall be where suns are not
A far serener clime:
CHORUS:
Then, O my Lord, before the night
Prepare my soul for that great day.
Now wash me in your precious blood,
And take my sins away.
VERSE 2:
A few more storms shall beat
On this wild rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more;
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o’er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more:
VERSE 3:
A few more Sabbaths here
Shall cheer us on our way,
And we shall reach the endless rest,
Th’eternal Sabbath day;
’Tis but a little while,
And He shall come again
Who died that we might live, Who lives
That we with Him may reign;
