Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
Just a few more years with their toil and tears, And the journey will be ended; Then I'll be with Him, where the tide of time With eternity is blended.
Verse 3
What a joy 'twill be when I wake to see Him for whom my heart is burning! Never more to sigh, never more to die, For that day my heart is yearning.
Chorus
I'll exchange my cross for a shining crown, Where the gates swing outward never; At His feet I'll lay every burden down And with Jesus live forever.
