Few More Years

A few more years shall roll
a few more seasons will come
And we will be with those that rest
asleep within the tomb

Chorus
Then, oh my Lord, prepare
my soul for that great day
Oh wash me in the precious blood
and take my sins all away

A few more meetings here
shall cheer us on our way
And we shall reach the endless rest
on that eternal day

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

A few more storms shall beat
on this wild rocky shore
And we shall be where tempests cease
and surges swell no more
