Let us sing a song that will cheer us by the way,
In a little while we’re going home.
For the night will end in the everlasting day,
In a little while we’re going home.
Text
1
Let us sing a song that will cheer us by the way,
In a little while we’re going home.
For the night will end in the everlasting day,
In a little while we’re going home.
Refrain
In a little while, In a little while,
We shall cross the billow’s foam;
We shall meet at last, When the stormy winds are past,
In a little while we’re going home.
2
We will do the work that our hands may find to do,
In a little while we’re going home.
And the grace of God will our daily strength renew,
In a little while we’re going home.
3
We will smooth the path for some weary, wayworn feet,
In a little while we’re going home.
And may loving hearts spread around an influence sweet!
In a little while we’re going home.
4
There’s a rest beyond, there’s relief from every care,
In a little while we’re going home;
And no tears shall fall in that city bright and fair,
In a little while we’re going home.

Just like the city of Babylon, time will also come were everything in this world will come to an end. But let us keep in mind that this world is not our home. God is preparing a place for us in heaven and in a little while we are going home. (Lesson 6, 1st Quarter 2021 -Monday, The Late Great City of Babylon, 2/01/2021)
There is no stopping place, no retirement this side of Canaan. At every moment we are working, living, spending to finish the work He gives us, hoping in His soon return. (Lesson 10, 1st Quarter 2023 – Sunday, “The Rich Fool”, 3/5/23)
