'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! Refrain '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? Refrain '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. Refrain
