Author: Minnie A. Greiner Hymnal: New Songs of the Gospel No. 2 #104 (1905) First Line: A little while the cross to bear Refrain First Line: A little while, a little while Lyrics: 1 A little while the cross to bear,
Eternally the crown to wear;
A little while to strive with win,
Eternal victory to win.
Refrain:
A little while, a little while,
And we shall lay our crosses down;
A little while, a little while,
And we shall wear the victor’s crown.
2 A little while to suffer pain,
Sweet peace forevermore to gain;
A little while earth’s toils to bear,
Eternally heav’n’s rest to share. [Refrain]
3 Sad tears a little while shall flow,
Eternity no grief shall know;
In deserts drear a little while,
Forever where green pastures smile. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [A little while the cross to bear]
