After a While

Author: C. A. T. Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.4 with refrain Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: The world of forms and changes is just now so confused Refrain First Line: After a while, after a while Lyrics: 1. The world of forms and changes Is just now so confused That there is found some danger In ev'rything you use; But this is consolation To ev'ry blood-washed child, The Lord will change our station, After a while. Chorus: After a while, after a while, The Lord will change our station, After a while. 2. Old Satan tries to throw down Ev'rything that's good; He'd fix a way to confound The righteous if he could. But thanks to God Almighty That he cannot beguile; And we will be done fighting, After a while. 3. There are some men and women That help the devil on By constantly complaining Of everything that's done, They want to be called Christians And all their badness hide; God will open the secret, After a while. 4. If the preacher in his sermon, Stands up to tell the truth, They'll go about and murmur, With slander and abuse, They want the whole arrangement To suit their selfish style, But God will sit in judgment, After a while. 5. I know we have too many who are living in the dark; They have but little if any, Of Christian work at heart, But thousands, though 'tis stormy, Are marching undefiled; And God will head the army, After a while.
