Only a little while
Of walking with weary feet,
Patiently over the thorny way
That leads to the golden street.
Suffer if ‘tis God's will,
And work for Him while we may;
From Calvary's cross to Zion's crown
Is only a little way.
Only a little while!
For toiling a few short days,
And then comes the rest, the quiet rest,
Eternity's endless praise,
