Have faith in God and wait;
Although He linger long,
He never comes too late.
2 He never cometh late;
He knoweth what is best;
Vex not thyself in vain;
Until He cometh, rest.
3 Until He cometh, rest,
Nor grudge the hours that roll;
The feet that wait for God
Are soonest at the goal;
4 Are soonest at the goal
That is not gained by speed;
Then hold thee still, my heart,
For I shall wait His lead.
Amen. Topics: Orisons; Comfort; God Love and Fatherhood, His; God Presence, His Abiding; God Presence, His Abiding; Peace, Spiritual; Serenity; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: DOLOMITE CHANT
