The Home Circle.

By Robert Whitaker

WAIT AWHILE.

If thy heart is lone and weary, And the world seems sad and dreary, Wait awhile; Sorrow cannot last forever; Tears and sighs will heal it never, Life and joy we cannot sever; Wait awhile.
When temptations fierce assail thee, And thy strength and courage fail thee, Wait awhile; Do not yield the fight a minute; Think what issues may be in it; God will give thee strength to win it; Wait awhile.
When the prayers thy lips have pleaded Seem forgotten and unheeded, Wait awhile; God perchance thy faith is testing, Thus thy soul with strength investing; On his changeless goodness resting, Wait awhile.
Life's great problems may perplex thee, Sin and pain and sorrow vex thee, Wait awhile; In that brighter world elysian Thou shalt see with clearer vision; Seek to learn and work thy mission; Wait awhile.
Wait awhile! thy feet may falter, But God's truth can never alter; Wait awhile; If thy soul his yoke hath taken, Thou canst never be forsaken, But in perfect light shall waken; Wait awhile. —Robert Whitaker.
