Be Patient

Be pa­tient but a lit­tle while

In suf­fer­ing you must learn to wait;

The Sav­ior keeps His trust­ing child

And guides him to the gold­en gate.

Be pa­tient but a lit­tle while

Be pa­tient

wea­ry one

and wait;

The Sav­ior keeps His trust­ing child

And guides him to the gold­en gate.

Be pa­tient

tho’ the way seems dark

A fa­ther’s care will thee sur­round

His love pre­pares the need­ed ark

There bit­ter waters may abound.

Be pa­tient

then

your way pur­sue

Till you the vic­to­ry have won;

Till Christ the Lord shall say to you

It is enough

well done

well done.
