Hymn 411 — Lord ! let us wait for Thee alone:
| 411 | J. N. DARBY (1800-1882) | 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 one 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! | |
