1 Shall the earth now brown and bare New-made robes of verdure wear? And the blossoms hid from sight Rise again to life and light?
Refrain: Trust and wait; O wait and trust; God hath said; He will, He must Meet His promise, Soon or late; Wait and trust, O trust and wait.
2 Shall the stream, now chill and slow Find its merry limpid flow? Shall the cold and cheerless plain Wave the ripen’d, golden grain? [Refrain]
3 Doth the grave, like winter’s cold Surety of new life enfold, Life perfected, life that will Our increasing yearning fill? [Refrain]Source: The Helper in Sacred Song: for Sunday-schools, churches, and devotional services #136
