'Tis only a little way on to my home, And there in its sunshine for ever I'll roam ; While all the day long I journey with song, O beautiful Edenland, thou art my home !
'Tis only a little way, only a little way ! 'Tis only a little way on to my home.
2. 'Tis only a little way farther to go, O'er mountain and valley where dark waters flow ; My Saviour is near, with blessings to cheer ; His word is my guiding-star â why should I fear ?
3. 'Tis only a little way: there I shall see The friends that in glory are waiting for me ; Their voices from home now float on the air â They're calling me tenderly, calling me there.
