The Cyber Hymnal ‎#10247

10247. Be Patient

1 Be patient but a little while,
In suffering you must learn to wait;
The Savior keeps His trusting child,
And guides him to the golden gate.

Refrain:
Be patient but a little while,
Be patient, weary one, and wait;
The Savior keeps His trusting child,
And guides him to the golden gate.

2 Be patient, tho’ the way seems dark,
A Father’s care will thee surround,
His love prepares the needed ark
Where bitter waters may abound. [Refrain]

3 Be patient, then, your way pursue,
Till you the victory have won;
Till Christ the Lord shall say to you,
"It is enough, well done, well done." [Refrain]
