WAITING

By MIZPAH

“In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Phil. 4:6.
When the last faint glim'ring sunbeam Sinks down the golden west; When each tuneful-throated warbler Is cradled in its nest; And night comes gently wooing The world to slumbrous rest, Then my aching heart seems breaking With longing and request. 'Tween the heart sobs still I'm saying, “God knoweth what is best.”
When morn breaks o’er the mountain, And joy seems far from me, I pray with tearful pleadings, Thy strength impart to me. Jesus! Thou tried and tempted, Thou hearest my request, And if ’tis still withholden, God knoweth what is best.
By faith I still am looking Beyond the shores of Time, Where joy will be unbounded, Fruition there be mine. While here, so sad and lonely, I'll lean on Jesus' breast, And whisper there ’tween heart sobs, “God knoweth what is best.”
