Let us sing a song
That will cheer us by the way,
In a lit­tle while we’re go­ing home;
For the night will end in the ev­er­last­ing day,
In a lit­tle while we’re go­ing home.

Refrain

In a lit­tle while, in a lit­tle while,
We shall cross the bil­low’s foam;
We shall meet at last,
When the stor­my winds are past,
In a lit­tle while we’re go­ing home.

We will do the work
That our hands may find to do,
In a lit­tle while we’re go­ing home;
And the grace of God
Will our dai­ly strength renew,
In a lit­tle while we’re go­ing home.

Refrain

We will smooth the path
For some weary, way-worn feet,
In a lit­tle while we’re go­ing home;
And may lov­ing hearts
Spread around an in­flu­ence sweet!
In a lit­tle while we’re go­ing home.

Refrain

There’s a rest be­yond,
There’s re­lief from ev­ery care,
In a lit­tle while we’re go­ing home;
And no tears shall fall
In that city bright and fair,
In a lit­tle while we’re go­ing home.

Refrain
