PATIENCE

By Mary E. Guilford

Patience, may I obtain this grace; Patience, to win the Christian race; Patience, to bear each earthly ill; Patience, to do God's holy will.
Patience, though anguish rend my heart; Patience, though earthly friends depart; Patience, though they may scorn, deride; Patience, whatever may betide.
Patience, to bear my daily cross; Patience, though I may suffer loss; Patience, though writhing under pain; Patience, 't will bring eternal gain!
Patience, though trials press me sore; Patience, though grief my cup run o'er; Patience amid the toils of life; Patience, to cease from worldly strife.
Patience, in every trying hour; Patience, to baffle Satan's power; Patience, the victory to gain; Patience, to conquer in Christ's name.
Patience makes hope spring up anew; Patience will cheer life's journey through; Patience will calm the troubled breast; Patience will guide to heavenly rest.
Patience! my soul, time's almost o'er; Patience! soon thou wilt weep no more; Patience! Christ's coming draweth nigh; Patience! soon thou wilt dwell on high.
