1196. The home where changes never come

1 The home where changes never come,
Nor pain nor sorrow, toil nor care;
Yes! 'tis a bright and blessed home;
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.

2 Yet when bowed down beneath the load
By Heav'n allowed, thine earthly lot;
Thou yearnst to reach that blest abode,
Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not. [Chorus]

3 If in thy path some thorns are found,
O, think who bore them on his brow;
If grief thy sorrowing heart has found,
It reached a holier than thou. [Chorus]

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]
