WAIT ON THE LORD, to learn the time
And circumstance of every deed;
He loves to bow His thought sublime
To those who wait, and feel their need.
He knows the time, He knows the way,
And He alone can give the light,
Which will not lead our steps astray,
But teach and guide them in the right.
Oh, then in RECOLLECTION wait,
In calmness look, till light is given;
And thus thou shalt not miss the straight
And narrow way that leads to heaven.
And circumstance of every deed;
He loves to bow His thought sublime
To those who wait, and feel their need.
He knows the time, He knows the way,
And He alone can give the light,
Which will not lead our steps astray,
But teach and guide them in the right.
Oh, then in RECOLLECTION wait,
In calmness look, till light is given;
And thus thou shalt not miss the straight
And narrow way that leads to heaven.
— Christ in the Soul (1872) XLVIII.
