And thou shall in Him be blest;
After the storm, a holy calm,
And after thy labour rest.
Refrain
Wait on the Lord, for whom hast thou
On earth or in heaven but He?
Over thy soul a watch He keeps,
Wherever thy path may be.
Wait on the Lord, wait cheerfully,
And He will thy youth renew;
Wait on the Lord obediently,
Whatever He bids thee do.
Refrain
Wait on the Lord, wait lovingly,
Confide in His care thy all;
Those that abide in perfect peace
No danger can ever befall.
Refrain
Wait on the Lord, wait joyfully,
For then shall thy heart be strong;
Lo! by His hand He leaded thee,
And thou shall be filled with song.
