Vol 04 - " a Little Longer."

" a Little Longer." A LITTLE longer yet, a little longer, And He whose right it is to reign shall come, The Savior, from our-crimson sins who washed us, Will leave His Father’s throne to take us home. A little longer yet, a little longer, To show His death―until that moment dear, While hosts angelic raptly are regarding―

’Tis thus the " babes and sucklings " praise Him here. A little longer yet, a little longer, The place of weakness, in the outcast’s name, But oh, forever in His cross to glory Whereby He put the world, and me, to shame. A little longer yet, a little longer; The Whole creation travails in her woes; But Christ, the great Deliverer, is coming, Earth, owning Him, shall blossom as the rose. A little longer yet, a little longer, And " Thou art worthy," shall be sounding free, Oh, holy One I Oh, true One! Thou art worthy!

Through sorrow and’ in joy we sing to Thee. A little longer yet, a little longer, Oppression, and the countless shapes of sin; But wisdom’s city stands, with open portal, And He who builded all things dwells therein.
