’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 Eden-land,
thou art my home!
’Tis only a little way, only a little way;
’Tis only a little way on to my home!
’Tis only a little way farther to go,
O’er mountain and valley
where dark waters flow;
My Savior is near
with blessings to cheer;
His Word is my guiding star—
why should I fear?
’Tis only a little way, only a little way;
’Tis only a little way on to my home!
’Tis only a little way:
there shall I see
The friends that in glory
are waiting for me;
Their voices from home
now float on the air—
They’re calling me tenderly,
calling me there.
’Tis only a little way, only a little way;
’Tis only a little way on to my home!
