4656. Not So in Haste, My Heart

1. Not so in haste my heart!
Have faith in God, and wait;
Although He linger long,
He never comes too late.

2. He never cometh late;
He knoweth what is best;
Vex not thyself in vain;
Until He cometh, rest.

3. Until He cometh, rest,
Nor grudge the hours that roll;
The feet that wait for God
Are soonest at the goal.

4. Are soonest at the goal
That is not gained with speed;
Then hold thee still, my heart,
For I shall wait His lead.
