Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Blood-bought children who are suff’ring
It won’t be long, It won’t be long
Storm-tossed pilgrim, if you’re struggling
It won’t be long, It won’t be long
VERSE 2
Though your flesh is now decaying
It won’t be long, It won’t be long
A new body God is making
It won’t be long, It won’t be long
CHORUS
Glory awaits
For all God’s redeemed
Glory awaits
And we’ll be free
VERSE 3
All you saints now bound in prison
It won’t be long, It won’t be long
Here’s your freedom: Christ is risen
It won’t be long, It won’t be long
VERSE 4
We are longing for Christ’s appearing
It won’t be long, It won’t be long
Tears will vanish when we see Him
It won’t be long, It won’t be long
