| C.M. | |
| 1 | Lord! let us wait for Thee alone: Our life be only this – To serve Thee here on earth, unknown; Then share Thy heavenly bliss. |
| 2 | Lord, we would wait, in labour still In Thy blest service here: What Thou hast giv’n us to fulfil – Thy will – to us is dear! |
| 3 | We well can wait! Thou waitest yet The word of that dread hour, Which shall Thy foes for ever set As footstool of Thy power. |
| 4 | Yet, Lord! were once Thy will fulfilled, How better far with Thee, With Thee, our joy, our strength, our shield, In cloudless light to be. |
| 5 | Lord, be it soon! Thou know’st our heart, In this sad world, no rest Can find nor wish but where Thou art: That rest itself possessed! |
