|
|
<p>Oh, for the peace that floweth as a river,<br>
|
|
Making life’s desert places bloom and smile;<br>
|
|
Oh, for the faith to grasp “Heav’n’s bright forever,”<br>
|
|
Amid the shadows of earth’s “little while.”</p>
|
|
<p>“A little while” for patient vigil keeping,<br>
|
|
To face the storm and wrestle with the strong;<br>
|
|
“A little while” to sow the seed with weeping,<br>
|
|
Then bind the sheaves and sing the harvest song.</p>
|
|
<p>“A little while” the earthen pitcher taking,<br>
|
|
To wayside brooks, from far off fountains fed;<br>
|
|
Then the parched lip its thirst forever slaking<br>
|
|
Beside the fullness of the Fountainhead.</p>
|
|
<p>“A little while” to keep the oil from failing,<br>
|
|
“A little while” faith’s flick’ring lamp to trim;<br>
|
|
And then the Bridegroom’s coming footsteps hailing,<br>
|
|
We’ll haste to meet Him with the bridal hymn.</p>
