TARRY THOU THE LORD'S PLEASURE.

Hast thou, dear soul, an ardent wish, A longing, still unsatisfied? Dost thou besiege the throne of grace, And feel thou canst not be denied? In patience rest upon His word— Tarry the pleasure of the Lord!
And thou, poor soul, by foes beset! Do cares and burdens sorely press? In sickness, solitude and pain, Is naught thy portion but distress? In faith still wait upon His word— Tarry the pleasure of the Lord!
And thou, sad soul, aweary quite Of all this conflict we call life? And dost thou long for friendly death To put an end to all thy strife? Patient and faithful, trust His word— Tarry the pleasure of the Lord!
