First Line: 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, only a little way !
'Tis only a little way on to my home.

2 '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 ?

3 '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.
