It is good that a man should both hope, and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. It is good that he bear the yoke in his youth. Lamentations 3:26-27. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:3-4. In rest shall ye be saved, in quietness shall be your strength. Isaiah 30:15.
Lord, I stand in continual need of thy help; but thy desire to help me is greater than mine own. For it is said, “I will not turn away from them, yea, I will rejoice over them, to do them good." Jeremiah 32:40-41. O give me but faith and patience to wait for thy help, which always comes in the best season.
I to my God my ways commit,
And cheerful wait his will:
Thy hand, which guides my doubtful feet,
Shall my desires fulfil.
Mine innocence shalt thou display,
And make thy judgments known.
Fair as the light of dawning day,
And glorious as the noon.
The meek at last the earth possess,
And are the heirs of heaven.
True riches with abundant peace,
To humble souls are given.
