Just a few more days
to be filled with praise,
And to tell the old, old story;
Then, when twilight falls,
and my Savior calls,
I shall go to Him in glory.
I値l exchange my cross
for a starry crown,
Where the gates swing outward never;
At His feet I値l lay every burden down,
And with Jesus reign forever.
Just a few more years
with their toil and tears,
And the journey will be ended;
Then I値l be with Him,
where the tide of time
With eternity is blended.
I値l exchange my cross
for a starry crown,
Where the gates swing outward never;
At His feet I値l lay every burden down,
And with Jesus reign forever.
Though the hills be steep
and the valleys deep,
With no flowers my way adorning;
Though the night be lone
and my rest a stone,
Joy awaits me in the morning.
I値l exchange my cross
for a starry crown,
Where the gates swing outward never;
At His feet I値l lay every burden down,
And with Jesus reign forever.
What a joy 稚will be
when I wake to see
Him for Whom my heart is burning!
Nevermore to sigh, nevermore to die,
For that day my heart is yearning.
I値l exchange my cross
for a starry crown,
Where the gates swing outward never;
At His feet I値l lay every burden down,
And with Jesus reign forever.
