Wait on the Lord

Say not, my soul, “From whence
Can God relieve my care?"
Remember that Omnipotence
Hath servants everywhere.


His help is always sure,
His methods seldom guessed;
Delay will make our pleasure pure:
Surprise will give it zest. 


His wisdom is sublime,
His heart profoundly kind;
God never is before His time,
And never is behind.


Hast thou assumed a load
Which none will bear with thee?
And art thou bearing it for God,
And shall He fail to see?

Be comforted at heart,
Thou art not left alone;
Now thou the Lord's companion art -- 
Soon thou shalt share His throne.


~ J. J. Lynch
