Little Longer

"O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee.... because Thy lovingkindness is better than life" (Psalm 63:1,3). "Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth" (John 12:35).

The earlier we seek the Lord,
The better we shall be,
For in His love is His reward,
And in His light we see.

A little longer is the light
Of daylight from the sun.
Our sun will set, then comes the night,
And time on earth is done.

A little longer down our path
The light of Christ will lead.
His love that saved our soul from wrath
Is all the light we need.

A little longer, Lord, we know,
And we shall then be home,
So keep us in Your light below
Lest we in darkness roam.
