Solomons Scrapbook- “A Little While” by Rev. George S. Woodhill

A little while the winds may blow,

And storms may beat around us;

Soon there will come the calm, we know,

And sunshine bright around us.

A little while our eyes may weep,

Our souls be filled with sadness;

The harvest rich we then shall reap,

Our songs be turned to gladness.

A little while, as pilgrims here,

We tread life’s dusty pathway;

But there we’ll walk as children dear

Our Heavenly Father’s highway.l

A little while, sorrows all gone,

Temptations, fights with sin,

We’ll gladly hail the morn’s sweet dawn

Immanuel bringeth in.

No longer then, “ a little while:”

That sun knows no declining ,

Which light and joy brings with its smile

And peace eternal shining.
