O child of God, wait patiently, When dark thy path may be ; And let thy faith lean trustingly On Him who cares for thee ; And though the clouds hang drearily Upon the brow of night, Yet in the morning joy will come, And fill thy soul with light.
2. O child of God, He loveth thee, And thou art all His own ; With gentle hand He leadeth thee---- Thou dost not walk alone ; And though thou watchest wearily The long and stormy night, Yet in the morning joy will come, And fill thy soul with light.
3. O child of God, how peacefully He calms thy fears to rest; And draws thee upward, tenderly, Where dwell the pure and blest ! And He who bendeth silently joy Above the gloom of night, Will take thee home, where endless Shall fill thy soul with light.
