Impatient Heart, Be Still

              Impatient Heart, Be Still

1. Impatient heart, be still!

What tho’ He tarries long?

What tho’ 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!

2. 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.

Be still! be still!

My eager heart be still!

3. 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.

Be still! be still!

My anxious heart be still.
