Wait on the Lord

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1898
Composer: John Sweney

Wait on the Lord

wait pa­tient­ly

And thou shalt in Him be blest;

After the storm

a ho­ly calm

And af­ter thy la­bor rest.

Wait on the Lord

for whom hast thou

On earth or in Heav­en but He?

Over thy soul a watch He keeps

Wherever thy path may be.

Wait on the Lord

wait cheer­ful­ly

And He will thy youth re­new;

Wait on the Lord obe­di­ent­ly

Whatever He bids thee do.

Wait on the Lord

wait lov­ing­ly

Confide in His care thy all;

Those that abide in per­fect peace

No dan­ger can e’er be­fall.

Wait on the Lord

wait joy­ful­ly

For then shall thy heart be strong;

Lo! by His hand He lead­eth thee

And thou shalt be filled with song.
