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

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

Glory awaits
For all God's redeemed
Glory awaits
And we'll be free

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

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
