WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: God doth not bid thee wait
Last Line: "wait patiently for him."
Subject(s): God; Patience


GOD doth not bid thee wait,
To disappoint at last;
A golden promise, fair and great,
In precept-mold is cast.
Soon shall the morning gild
The dark horizon-rim,
Thy heart's desire shall be fulfilled.
"Wait patiently for Him."

The weary waiting times
Are but the muffled peals,
Low preluding celestial chimes,
That hail His chariot-wheels.
Trust Him to tune thy voice
To blend with seraphim;
His "Wait" shall issue in "Rejoice!"
"Wait patiently for Him."

He doth not bid thee wait,
Like drift-wood on the wave,
For fickle chance or fixed fate
To ruin or to save.
Thine eyes shall surely see --
No distant hope or dim --
The Lord thy God arise for thee:
"Wait patiently for Him."
