Not So in Haste, My Heart

Verse 1

Not so in haste my heart! Have faith in God, and wait; Although He linger long, He never comes too late.

Verse 2

He never cometh late; He knoweth what is best; Vex not thyself in vain; Until He cometh, rest.

Verse 3

Until He cometh, rest, Nor grudge the hours that roll; The feet that wait for God Are soonest at the goal.

Verse 4

Are soonest at the goal That is not gained with speed; Then hold thee still, my heart, For I shall wait His lead.
