Soon this life will all be over And our pilgrimage will end. Soon we'll take our Heavenly journey Be at home again with friends.
Heaven's gates are standing open Waiting for our entrance there. Some sweet day we're going over All the beauties there to share.
Just a little while to stay here Just a little while to wait. Just a little while to labor In the path that's always straight (that's always straight and narrow).
Just a little more of troubles In this low and sinful state. Then we'll enter Heaven's portals Sweeping through the pearly gates.
Soon we'll see the lights of morning And the new day will begin. Soon we'll hear the Father calling: "Come my children, enter in".
And we'll hear a choir of angels Singing out the vic'try song. All our troubles will be ended And we'll be with Heaven's throng.
Just a little while to stay here Just a little while to wait. Just a little while to labor In the path that's always straight (that's always straight and narrow).
Just a little more of troubles In this low and sinful state. Then we'll enter Heaven's portals Sweeping through the pearly gates.
(Just a little while, just a little while, just a little while, just a little while)
Just a little while to stay here Just a little while to wait. Just a little while to labor In the path that's always straight (that's always straight and narrow).
Just a little more of troubles In this low and sinful state. Then we'll enter Heaven's portals Sweeping through the pearly gates.
Then we'll enter Heaven's portals Sweeping through the pearly gates.
