Not so in haste, my heart!
Have faith in God and wait;
Although he linger long,
He never comes too late;

He never comes too late,
He knoweth what is best
Vex not thyself in vain;
Until he cometh, rest.

Until he cometh, rest,
Nor grudge the hours that roll;
The feet that wait for God
Are soonest at the goal, —
Are soonest at the goal
That is not gained by speed:
Then hold thee still, my heart,
For I shall wait his lead.
