- Verse:
- Soon this life will all
be over, And our pilgrimage will end.
- Soon will take our heavnly
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.
-
- Chorus:
- Just a little time to stay
here,
- Just a little time to wait.
- Just a little while to labor,
- In the path that's always
straight.
- Just a little more of trouble,
- In this low and sinful state.
- Then we'll enter Heaven's
portals,
- Sweeping through the pearly
gates.
