Just a little longer to work for Jesus,
Days for earthly toil are short and few;
Just a little longer to fight life’s battles,
And to prove thyself a soldier brave and true.
Just a little longer the seed to scatter
Out upon the harvest fields so wide;
Just a little longer the sheaves to gather,
Coming with rejoicing at the eventide.
Just a little longer to lift the fallen,
Precious, never dying souls to save;
Just a little longer to tell the story,
And to speed the message o’er the ocean wave.
Chorus
Just a little longer, just a little longer,
O my soul, be patient, to the end endure;
Just a little longer the cross to bear,
Then a long eternity the crown to wear.
Mrs. C. H. MorrisLord Jesus, are we one with Thee?
O height, O depth of love!
Thou one with us on Calvary,
We are one with Thee above.
Such was Thy grace, that for our sake
Thou didst from heaven come down,
With us of flesh and blood partake,
In all our misery, one.
Our sins, our guilt, in love divine,
Confessed and borne by Thee;
The gall, the curse, the wrath were Thine,
To set Thy members free.
Ascended now, in glory bright,
Still one with us Thou art;
Nor life, nor death, nor depth, nor height
Thy saints and Thee can part.
O teach us, Lord, to know and own
This wondrous mystery,
That Thou with us art truly one,
And we are one with Thee.
Soon, soon shall come that glorious day,
When, seated on Thy throne,
Thou shalt to wondering worlds display,
That Thou with us art one.
Rev. James G. Deck
