Hymn
Wait, My Soul, Upon the Lord
Wait, my soul, upon the Lord,
To His gracious promise flee,
Laying hold upon His Word:
"As thy days thy strength shall be,"
"As thy days thy strength shall be."
If the sorrows of thy case
Seem peculiar still to thee,
God has promised needful grace:
"As thy days thy strength shall be,"
"As thy days thy strength shall be."
Days of trial, days of grief,
In succesion thou may'st see;
This is still thy sweet relief:
"As thy days thy strength shall be,"
"As thy days thy strength shall be."
Rock of Ages, I'm secure,
With Thy promise, full and free,
Faithful, positive and sure;
"As thy days thy strength shall be,"
"As thy days thy strength shall be."
