I just can't hear the last part of the last verse. Have not seen this online anywhere.

Hear it here: MOLLY O'DAY AT TUEAGLES.

=================================================

IT WON'T BE LONG
Molly O'Day version

Someday, I'll cross the misty stream;
It won't be long; it may be soon.
Someday, I'll lay my burdens down;
It won't be long; it may be soon.
Someday, I'll reach the golden shore,
And dwell with Jesus evermore.
I'll meet the ones who've gone before;
It won't be long; it may be soon.

Someday, this mortal life shall cease;
It won't be long; it may be soon.
Someday, I'll see my Savior's face;
It won't be long; it may be soon.
Someday, I'll leave this vale of tears,
Forget the struggle of long years.
I'll know no sorrow, pain, nor fear;
It won't be long; it may be soon.

He's coming back with glory rare;
It won't be long; it may be soon.
We'll rise to meet Him in the air;
It won't be long; it may be soon.
If He should call me, this I know:
I'm saved, and ready now to go.
I'm waiting with my ????????
It won't be long; it may be soon.

I think you're right, and if not I can still sing that! Thanks!

I found it in a hymnal. Written in 1910 by L.B. Bridgers. Guest has the right words. There is a 4th verse, as follows:

Then as you travel on life's way,
Through waters deep, or billows' foam;
You may have Jesus as your stay,
He'll walk with you and lead you home.
O brother, will you let Him in?
He'll save and keep you free from sin,
Till heaven's door you enter in;
It won't be long, it may be soon.

After the last verse, there's a tag:

There'll be no sorrow there,
There'll be no sorrow there,
In heav'n above, where all is love,
There'll be no sorrow there,
