Horatius Bonar

A few more years shall roll,

A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest
Asleep within the tomb:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for Thy great day;
O wash me in Thy precious Blood,
And take my sins away.
 
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.
 
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o’er,
A few more toils a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that bright day;
O wash me in Thy precious Blood,
And take my sins away.
 
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.
 
A few more Sabbaths here
Shall cheer us on our way,
And we shall reach the endless rest,
The eternal Sabbath-day:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that blest day;
O wash me in Thy precious Blood,
And take my sins away.
 
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.
 
’Tis but a little while
And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, Who lives
That we with Him may reign:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
O wash me in Thy precious Blood,
And take my sins away.
 
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.
