29. Wait, my soul, upon the Lord

1 Wait, my soul, upon the Lord,
To His gracious promise flee,
Laying hold upon His word.
"As thy days, thy strength shall be."

2 If the sorrows of thy case
Seem peculiar still to thee,
God has promised needful grace,
"As thy days, thy strength shall be."

3 Days of trial, days of grief,
In succession thou may'st see;
This is still thy sweet relief,
"As thy days, thy strength shall be."

4 Rock of Ages, I'm secure,
With Thy promise full and free;
Faithful, positive, and sure,--
"As thy days, thy strength shall be."
