The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4‎#555

1 A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come;
And we shall lie with them that rest,
Asleep within the tomb.

Refrain:
Then oh, my Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day;
Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.

2 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild, rocky shore;
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 A few more meetings here
Shall cheer us on our way;
And we shall reach the endless rest,
Th'eternal Sabbath-day. [Refrain]
