Chorus:
Just a Little while to stay here, just a little while 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 thru the pearly gates.
Soon we’ll see the light of morning, then the new day will begin. Soon we’ll hear the Father calling, “Come my children, enter in.” Then we’ll hear a choir of angels singing out the vict’ry song, All our troubles will be ended And we’ll live with heaven’s throng.
Soon we’ll meet again our loved ones, And we’ll take them by the hand, Soon we’ll press them to our bosom over in the promised land; Then we’ll be at home forever, thru-out all eternity,
What a blessed, blessed morning, that eternal morn shall be.

CONGREGATIONAL HYMN . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .“Blessed Jesus Hold My Hand”
As I travel through this pilgrim land there is a Friend who goes with me. Leads me safely thro’ the sinking sand, it is the Christ of Calvary.
This would be my pray’r, dear Lord, each day to help me do the best I can, For I need Thy light to guide me day and night, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
Chorus:
Je---sus, hold my hand, I need Thee ev’ry hour,
[Blessed Jesus, hold my hand] [Yes, I need Thee ev’ry hour] Thru this pilgrim land Protect my by Thy pow’r.
[Thru this land, this pilgrim land ----By Thy saving pow’r.] Hear my feeble plea, O Lord, look down on me.
[Hear my plea, my feeble plea, Lord, dear Lord, Look down on me] When I kneel in pray’r I hope to meet you there,
[When I kneel in prayer]
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
Let me travel in the light divine that I may see the blessed way; Keep me that I may be wholly Thine and sing redemption’s song some day. I will be a soldier brave and true and ever firmly take a stand,
As I onward go and daily meet the foe, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
