How long shall thy servants wait?

By Frances Williams

How long, O Lord! shall thy servants wait? How long will it be ere they'll enter that gate? Ere they shall behold in that city so fair The joy of their hearts, and the theme of their prayer?
How long will it be ere their toil shall end? Ere the thoughts of bright home in reality blend? How long will it be ere they shall behold, The gates made of pearl, and streets paved with gold?
How long will it be ere a crown each shall wear, And in that bright land palms of victory bear? Lord hasten the time when thy Kingdom shall come, That all weary pilgrims may there find a home. Frances Williams. Shell Rock, Butler Co. Iowa.
