Only A Few More

Only a few more mornings,

Only a few more nights,

And the home I have longed for,

From childhood will burst on my loving sight.

Only a few more heartaches,

Only a few more tears,

And I’ll go to be with my Savior,

Who bears my burdens and cares.

Yes it’s only a shortened journey

To reach my home on high

The home that my Lord has prepared for me

Where we’ll never-never die.

Only a few more burdens,

To bear on the onward road,

Only a few more loving deeds,

To lighten my brothers load.

Only a few more partings,

And grief so heavy to bear,

Yes, only a few more songs to sing,

And only a few more Prayers.
