| Author: | Rev. A. H. Ackley |
| Tune: | [‘Twill not be long till all the shadows] |
| Composer: | B. D. Ackley |
1 ‘Twill not be long till all the shadows
Of earthly care shall pass away,
While from the land of endless morning,
Shall dawn the souls eternal day.
Refrain:
‘Twill not be long till Jesus calls me,
‘Twill not be long before I sing,
The glory song through countless ages,
Of victory through Christ my King.
2 ‘Twill not be long till I shall see Him,
The one who bore the cross for me,
His gift of love shall be my story,
My song through all eternity. [Refrain]
3 ‘Twill not be long till He will call me,
to cross the silent, moving tide,
‘Tis then I’ll look beyond the river,
And there behold my Lord and Guide. [Refrain]
