"LIGHT SOWN FOR THE RIGHTEOUS".
For they who dwell in Thy presence,
May take their rest on Thy word.
May take their rest on Thy word.
My star—nay, Thy star, my Master!—
To shine in Thy crown so fair:
This is my hope in my sadness,
This is the strength of my prayer.
Thou workest in signs and wonders:
Thy promise shall cheer me again.
Long have I waited on Thee, Lord;
None ever waited in vain.
To shine in Thy crown so fair:
This is my hope in my sadness,
This is the strength of my prayer.
Thou workest in signs and wonders:
Thy promise shall cheer me again.
Long have I waited on Thee, Lord;
None ever waited in vain.
I will stand alone on my watch-tower,
If so I may do Thy will:
Keep me to watch for my star-rise,
Patiently watching there still.
Thou wilt answer my prayer for Thy glory,
Master beloved! Thou wilt bless,
And quicken my heart in Thy praises,
To tell of Thy faithfulness.
If so I may do Thy will:
Keep me to watch for my star-rise,
Patiently watching there still.
Thou wilt answer my prayer for Thy glory,
Master beloved! Thou wilt bless,
And quicken my heart in Thy praises,
To tell of Thy faithfulness.
"Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me."—Micah vii. 7.
"LIGHT SOWN FOR THE RIGHTEOUS."
"Until the time that His word came: the word of the Lord tried him."—Psalm cv. 19.
Hush thou thy sigh! Rebellious heart, be still!
God's way is best. Do thou thy Father's will.
God's way is best. Do thou thy Father's will.
