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!
