Blest, Blest Forever

Only a little while, sowing and reaping,

Only a little while, our vigil keeping;

Then we shall gather home, no more to sever,

Clasped in eternal love, blest, blest forever.

Only a little while, heartbreak and sorrow,

Dark though the night may be, cloudless the morrow;

Only a little while, Earth ties to sever,

Then in our Father land, blest, blest forever.

Only a little while, shadow and sadness,

Then in eternity sunshine and gladness;

Only a little while, then o'er the river,

Home, rest and victor palm, life, joy forever.
