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 A few more marchings weary, [wear; Then we'll gather home !
O'er . . time's . . rapid river, Soon . . we'll . . rest for ever No more marchings weary When we gather home !
2. A few more nights of weeping, Then we'll gather home ! A few more watches keeping, Then we'll gather home ! A few more victories over sin, A few more sheaves to gather in, A few more marchings weary, Then we'll gather home !
3. 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 !
