• Lyrics:
  O troubled heart, there is a home
  Beyond the reach of toil and care;
  A home where changes never come:
  Who would not fain be resting there?
  
  chorus:
  O wait, meekly wait, and murmur not,
  O wait, meekly wait, and murmur not
  O wait, O wait,
  O wait, and murmur not.
  
  Yet when bowed down beneath the load
  By Heav'n allowed, thine earthly lot;
  Look up! thou'lt reach that blest abode;
  Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not.
  
  Toil on, nor deem, tho' sore it be,
  One sigh unheard, one prayer forgot;
  The day of rest will dawn for thee;
  Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not.
