Lyrics
Verse 1
It won't be very long till this short life shall end,
It won't be very long till Jesus shall descend;
And then the dead in Christ from beds of clay shall rise
To meet the Lord and King up yonder in the skies.
Verse 2
It won't be very long till here we cease to roam,
It won't be very long till all the saints get home;
And then with smiling face we'll walk the street of gold,
And sing the Savior's praise where saints are never old.
Verse 3
It won't be very long till earth shall pass away,
It won't be very long till works of men decay;
But Jesus has prepared a happy dwelling place,
For all who look above and trust His matchless grace.
Chorus
It won't be very long It won't be very long
Till Jesus shall appear, That day is drawing near;
Will you be ready then To meet the ransomed throng?
Get ready for that day, It won't be very long.
