It won’t be long
- It won’t be long;
be not afraid.
The passing days are saying,
“In heaven ends your journey.” - It won’t be long;
be not afraid.
When round you storms are raging,
subdue the waves by praising. - It won’t be long;
be not afraid.
See how the stony pathways
are changed to golden byways. - It won’t be long;
be not afraid.
The ship will soon be landing,
gladness replacing suffering. - It won’t be long;
be not afraid.
Laughter is sure to follow
as fruit of tears and sorrow. - It won’t be long;
be not afraid.
And pay no heed to suffering;
it brings a crown of glory. - It won’t be long;
be not afraid.
Think of the heavenly meadows,
where you will see your Saviour. - It won’t be long;
be not afraid.
Take courage; walk on bravely;
short is the path of suffering. - It won’t be long;
be not afraid.
By Jesus you’ll be welcomed
above in heaven’s garden.From My Father, I Trust You by M. Basilea Schlink
