As God Wills

God is not in a hurry, dear. The work he chose for you Can wait, if he is giving you another task to do. Or if he calls you from your work to quietness and rest, Be sure that in the silence you may do his bidding best.

You cannot be a joy to him if thus with frown and fret You turn at each new call of his, to find new lessons set. The old, familiar tasks were dear, and ordered by his hand; But come and tread another way: it is as he has planned.

And yesterday he led you there; and now he wants you here; And what shall be tomorrow’s work, tomorrow shall make clear. So patiently and faithfully let each day’s course be run; God is not in a hurry, dear. His work will all be done.
