Tis only a little way on to my home

'Tis only a little way on to my home,
And there in its sunshine for ever I'll roam;
While all the day long I journey with song,
O beautiful Edenland, thou art my home!

'Tis only a little way farther to go,
O'er mountain and valley where dark waters flow;
My Saviour is near, with blessings to cheer;
His word is my guiding-star — why should I fear?

'Tis only a little way: there I shall see
The friends that in glory are waiting for me;
Their voices from home now float on the air —
They're calling me tenderly, calling me there.
