Impatient Heart, Be Still

Verse 1

Impatient heart, be still, be still! What tho’ He tarries long? What tho’ the triumph song Is still delayed? Thou hast His promise sure, And that is all secure, Be not afraid, be not afraid!

Verse 2

My eager heart, be still, be still! Thy Lord will surely come, And take thee to His home, With Him to dwell. It may not be today; And yet, my soul, it may; I cannot tell, I cannot tell.

Verse 3

My anxious heart, be still, be still! Watch, pray, and work, and then It will not matter when Thy Lord shall come. At midnight, or at noon; He cannot come too soon To take thee home, to take thee home.
