After a While by Charles Albert Tindley — Lyrics
1. The world of forms and changes
Is just now so confused
That there is found some danger
In everything you use;
But this is consolation
To every bloodwashed child,
The Lord will change our station,

About After a While
Charles Albert Tindley's hymn After a While opens with a gentle, hopeful melody, setting the tone for its message of reassurance. The SATB voices blend in a rich, homophonic texture, creating a warm embrace for the English text. The music swells and recedes, mirroring the ebb and flow of life's troubles, yet always returning to the steadfast promise of divine intervention. The lyrics speak of the confusion and danger in the world, offering solace to believers with the assurance that their situation will ultimately be transformed by the Lord. This sacred anthem is a powerful expression of faith and endurance.
