Christ My Song - 2350
A few more years shall roll - A Pilgrim's Song
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
A Pilgrim's Song.
1. A few more years shall roll,
a few more seasons come,
and we shall be with those that rest,
asleep within the tomb.
Then, O my Lord, prepare
my soul for that great day;
O wash me in thy precious blood,
and take my sins away! PDF - Midi
2. A few more suns shall set
o'er these dark hills of time,
and we shall be where suns are not,
a far serener clime.
Then, O my Lord, prepare
my soul for that blessed day;
O wash me in thy precious blood,
and take my sins away!
3. A few more storms shall beat
on this wild rocky shore,
and we shall be where tempests cease,
and surges swell no more.
Then, O my Lord, prepare
my soul for that calm day;
O wash me in thy precious blood,
and take my sins away!
4. A few more struggles here,
a few more partings o'er,
a few more toils, a few more tears,
and we shall weep no more.
Then, O my Lord, prepare
my soul for that bright day;
O wash me in thy precious blood,
and take my sins away!
5. A few more Sabbaths here
shall cheer us on our way,
and we shall reach the endless rest,
the eternal Sabbath-day.
Then, O my Lord, prepare
my soul for that sweet day;
O wash me in thy precious blood,
and take my sins away!
6. 'Tis but a little while,
and he shall come again,
who died that we might live, who lives
that we with him may reign.
Then, O my Lord, prepare
my soul for that glad day;
O wash me in thy precious blood,
and take my sins away!
