Impatient Heart Be Still

Impatient heart, be still! What though He tarries long? What though the triumph song Is still (is still) delayed? Thou hast His promise sure, And that is all secure; Be not afraid! Be not afraid!

Be still! Be still! Impatient heart be still!

My eager heart, be still! Thy Lord will surely come, And take thee to His home, With Him (with Him) to dwell; It may not be today; And yet, my soul, it may; I cannot tell, I cannot tell.

My anxious heart, be still! Watch, work, and pray, and then It will not matter when Thy Lord (Thy Lord) shall come; At midnight, or at noon; He cannot come too soon To take thee home, to take thee home.
