Be Patient

Representative Text

1. Be patient but a little while,
In suff'ring you must learn to wait;
The Saviour keeps His trusting child,
And guides him to the golden gate.

Chorus:
Be patient but a little while,
Be patient, weary one, and wait;
The Saviour keeps His trusting child,
And guides him to the golden gate.

2. Be patient, tho' the way seems dark,
A Father's care will thee surround,
His love prepares the needed ark,
Where bitter waters may abound. [Chorus]

3. 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." [Chorus]
