\nWith worries, fears, an anxious mind;
\nWith troubled soul and tearful cries
\nOur anxious heart doth now implore,
\n\u201cO Lord, What wait I for?\u201d
\n(Psalm 39:7)<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThough nights of darkness sleepless be,
\nThough prayer and plea we raise on high,
\nYet trembling still His Word we see:
\n\u201cWait,\u201d says He, \u201cwait on Me.\u201d
\n(Psalm 27:14)<\/em><\/p>\n
\nA thousand years to Him \u2013 a day.
\nThe number of the stars knows He,
\nAnd thus we say, though daylight dim,
\n\u201cWait patiently for Him.\u201d
\n(Is. 57:15, 2 Pet. 3:8, Psalm 37:7)<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWho wait for Him and seek His face.
\nWith strength and love He hears our call.
\nHis time is right, He’ll not be late.
\nOn God alone we wait.
\n(Lam. 3:25, Psalm 62:5)<\/em><\/p>\n
\nE\u2019en if we leave this life behind.
\nHe\u2019s good and faithful, hears each sigh.
\nWe trust Him still with heart outpoured:
\n\u201cWait, I say, on the Lord.\u201d
\n(Psalm 27:14)<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYields beauty not seen heretofore.
\nFrom ragged roughness \u2013 graceful form,
\nAnd from the depths comes joyous song.
\nWait on the LORD: be strong.
\n(Psalm 27:14, Jos.1:7)<\/em><\/p>\n
\nFor He went through the same, nay, more,
\nDespised, rejected, crucified.
\nWe humbly bow before Him, awed.
\nMy soul waits upon God.
\n(2 Cor. 12:9, Heb. 2:18 4:15, Psalm 62:1)<\/em><\/p>\n
