Impatient Heart, Be Still

Impatient heart

be still!

What though He tar­ries long?

What though the tri­umph song

Is still (is still) de­layed?

Thou hast His pro­mise sure

And that is all se­cure;

Be not afraid! Be not afraid!

Be still! Be still!

Impatient heart be still!

My ea­ger heart

be still!

Thy Lord will sure­ly come

And take thee to His home

With Him (with Him) to dwell;

It may not be to­day;

And yet

my soul

it may;

I can­not tell

I can­not tell.

My anx­ious heart

be still!

Watch

work

and pray

and then

It will not mat­ter when

Thy Lord (Thy Lord) shall come;

At mid­night

or at noon;

He can­not come too soon

To take thee home

to take thee home.
