1 Wait, my soul, upon Him;
Trust in His word;
He will surely help thee
Who thy plaint hath heard.
Be not afraid,
Neither be dismayed;
Strong is He and mighty,
He will lend thee aid;
Kind is thy Shepherd;
With staff and rod
He will quick sustain thee,
Thy Lord and God.
2 Wait, my soul, upon Him;
Trust in His word;
He will surely help thee
Who thy plaint hath heard.
Though dark the night,
Soon must dawn the light;
After gloomy winter
Waketh spring’s delight.
Strong the Deliv’rer,
Faithful His word;
Wait, my soul upon Him,
Thy God and Lord.
