Wait, and Murmur Not!
William Henry Bellamy • English
Primary Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:26
Verse 1
O troubled heart, there is a home, Beyond the reach of toil and care; A home where changes never come, Who would not fain be resting there?
Chorus
O. wait, meekly wait, and murmur not, O wait, meekly wait, and murmur not; O, wait, O, wait, O, wait, and murmur not.
Verse 2
Yet when bow'd down beneath the load By heav’n allowed, thine earthly lot; Look up! thoul’t reach that sweet abode, Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not.
Chorus
O. wait, meekly wait, and murmur not, O wait, meekly wait, and murmur not; O, wait, O, wait, O, wait, and murmur not.
Verse 3
If in thy path some thorns are found, O, think who wore them on His brow; If grief thy sorrowing heart has found, It reached one holier than thou.
Chorus
O. wait, meekly wait, and murmur not, O wait, meekly wait, and murmur not; O, wait, O, wait, O, wait, and murmur not.
Verse 4
Toil on, nor deem, tho' sore it be, One sigh unheard, one pray'r forgot; The day of rest will dawn for thee; Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not.
Chorus
O. wait, meekly wait, and murmur not, O wait, meekly wait, and murmur not; O, wait, O, wait, O, wait, and murmur not.
