few more marchings weary

a few more marchings weary, then we’ll gather home!
a few more storm clouds dreary, then we’ll gather home!
a few more days the cross to bear,
and then with christ a crown to wear;
a few more marchings weary, then we’ll gather home!

refrain

o’er time’s rapid river, soon we’ll rest forever;
no more marchings weary when we gather home!

a few more nights of weeping, then we’ll gather home!
a few more watches keeping, then we’ll gather home!
a few more vict’ries over sin,
a few more sheaves to gather in,
a few more marchings weary, then we’ll gather home!

refrain

a few more sweet links broken, then we’ll gather home!
a few more kind words spoken, then we’ll gather home!
a few more partings on the strand,
and then away to canaan’s land:
a few more marchings weary, then we’ll gather home!

refrain
