It won’t be long

Sheet music

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