The Home Circle.

ONLY WAIT.

WHEN the spirit, worn and weary, 'Neath its daily load of care, Finds the pathway long and dreary, And the burden hard to bear, Tired with hoping, faint with fearing, Sighs to reach the golden gate, Then, in accents soft and cheering, Patience whispers, "Only wait; For a brighter day is dawning, Joy awaits us in the morning— In the beauty of the morning— Only wait."
O sad hearts, whose soundless sorrow Dares not let a murmur fall, Only wait and trust the morrow— God's great love is over all. Only wait, O wounded spirit, By the cross of life weighed down; Thou shalt surely earth inherit— Bear the cross, and win the crown; For a brighter day is dawning, Joy awaits us in the morning— In the beauty of the morning— Only wait.
