I 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. 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 blest day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, 88 & 7s. Double. 3 A few more storms shall beat My soul for that calm day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, 4 A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, My soul for that blest day; 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, 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. Rev. Dr. Horatius Bonar, 1842, 1844. |
