First Line: Let us sing a song that will cheer us by the way —,

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.

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.

2 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.

3 We will smooth the path for some
weary, way-worn feet —
In a little while we're going home ;
Oh, may loving hearts spread around
an influence sweet !
In a little while we're going home.

4 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.
