To hear Thy voice and live:

3 Patience, to watch, and wait, and weep,

Though mercy long delay;

Courage, our fainting souls to keep,

And trust Thee, though Thou slay.

4 Give these,—and then Thy will be done!

Thus strengthened with all might,

We, in the spirit of Thy Son,

Shall pray, and pray aright.

32.
