| Tune: | [Patience is an angel spirit] |
| Composer: | A. D. Fillmore |
1 Patience is an angel spirit
Sent from heaven to bless mankind:
Happy those who bid her welcome;
Blessed company they find.
Chorus:
Sweet Patience be our guide and director,
And from Despair be thou our protector,
Till a home of peace and love,
We shall find in heaven above.
2 She will help us in our journey,
All the ills of life to bear;
Though our path be rough and thorny,
Patience drives away all care. [Chorus]
3 Though we sow in tears and sorrow,
With an almost hopeless view,
From the bud so brown and bitter,
She brings flowers of beauteous hue. [Chorus]
3 'Mid the storms and dashing billows,
As we sail o'er life's rough sea,
Patience at the helm says calmly,
"Soon a shining heaven we'll see." [Chorus]
