My Father How Long?
A Soldier's Life
My father, how long
my father, how long
My father how long,
Poor sinner suffer here?

Chorus:

And it won't be long,
And it won't be long,
And it won't be long,
Poor sinner suffer here.
We'll soon be free
We'll soon be free
We'll soon be free
The Lord will call us home.

Chorus

We'll walk the miry road,
We'll walk the miry road,
We'll walk the miry road,
Where pleasure never dies.

Chorus

We'll walk the golden streets,
We'll walk the golden streets,
We'll walk the golden streets,
Of the new Jerusalem.

Chorus

My brothers do sing,
My brothers do sing,
My brothers do sing,
The praises of the Lord.

Chorus

We'll fight for liberty,
We'll fight for liberty,
We'll fight for liberty,
When the Lord will call us home.
