- 1O, troubled heart, there is a homeBeyond the reach of toil and care;A home where changes never come:Who would not fain be resting there?O, wait, (meekly wait,) meekly wait, and murmur not,O, wait, (meekly wait,) meekly wait, and murmur not,O, wait, (meekly wait,)O wait, (meekly wait,)O, wait, and murmur not.(O, murmur not.)
- 2Yet when bowed down beneath the loadBy heav’n allowed, thine earthly lot;Look up! Thou’lt reach that blest abode;Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not.O, wait, (meekly wait,) meekly wait, and murmur not,O, wait, (meekly wait,) meekly wait, and murmur not,O, wait, (meekly wait,)O wait, (meekly wait,)O, wait, and murmur not.(O, murmur not.)
- 3Toil on, nor deem, tho’ sore it be,One sigh unheard, one pray’r forgot;The day of rest will dawn for thee;Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not.O, wait, (meekly wait,) meekly wait, and murmur not,O, wait, (meekly wait,) meekly wait, and murmur not,O, wait, (meekly wait,)O wait, (meekly wait,)O, wait, and murmur not.(O, murmur not.)
