First Line: O child of God, wait patiently,

O child of God, wait patiently,
When dark thy path may be ;
And let thy faith lean trustingly
On Him who cares for thee ;
And though the clouds hang drearily
Upon the brow of night,
Yet in the morning joy will come,
And fill thy soul with light.

2 O child of God, He loveth thee,
And thou art all His own ;
With gentle hand He leadeth thee----
Thou dost not walk alone ;
And though thou watchest wearily
The long and stormy night,
Yet in the morning joy will come,
And fill thy soul with light.

3 O child of God, how peacefully
He calms thy fears to rest;
And draws thee upward, tenderly,
Where dwell the pure and blest !
And He who bendeth silently joy
Above the gloom of night,
Will take thee home, where endless
Shall fill thy soul with light.
