93. Keep a-Inchin' Along

Refrain:
Keep a-inching along,
keep a-inching along,
Jesus will come by and by.
Keep a-inching along,
like a poor inch-worm,
Jesus will come by and by.

1 It was inch by inch that I sought the lord,
Jesus will come by and by;
It was inch by inch that He saved my soul,
Jesus will come by and by. [Refrain]

2 We'll inch and inch and inch along,
Jesus will come by and by;
And inch by inch till we get home,
Jesus will come by and by. [Refrain]

3 Oh, trials and troubles on the way,
Jesus will come by and by;
But we must watch as well as pray,
Jesus will come by and by. [Refrain]
