It Won't Be Long

It Won't Be Long - Earl Scruggs/Lester Flatt

There will come a time some morning

When all the saints will rise and shine

Hallelujah praise the lord it won't be long

Up to that happy home in glory where the souls shall never die

Hallelujah praise the lord it won't be long

It won't be long it won't be long

It won't be long it won't be long

Till we hear the angels sing the victory song

Then we'll gather around the throne there to live forever more

Hallelujah praise the lord it won't be long

We will meet our friends and loved ones when our toiling here is over

Hallelujah praise the lord it won't be long

There we'll shout and sing his praises in that land forever more

Hallelujah praise the lord it won't be long

It won't be long

It won't be long

It won't be long

It won't be long

Till we hear the angels sing the victory song

Then we'll gather around the throne there to live forever more

Hallelujah praise the lord it won't be long

We will see the saviour coming some glad morning on the farm

Hallelujah praise the lord it won't be long

The saints and angels will come shouting oh what glory that will be

Hallelujah praise the lord it won't be long

It won't be long

It won't be long

It won't be long

It won't be long

Till we hear the angels sing the victory song

Then we'll gather around the throne there to live forever more

Hallelujah praise the lord it won't be long
