Just a Little Farther On-

Just a Little farther on,
Oh, the happy days that lure us
when these days of stress are gone!
Days of restfulness and pleasure,
days of garnered joy and treasure,
All the harvest-homes of dreamland
just a little farther on.

What a hope to keep them smiling
faces wistful, faces wan!
What a spur to faint endeavor
till the crushing task is done!
Oh,'twould be a sorry showing life would
make for God's bestowing
If the good time did not beckon
just a little farther on.
