Author:E. R. Latta
Tune:[If beset by doubts and fears]
Composer:Chas. Edw. Prior

34. Wait a Little, You May See!

1 If beset by doubts and fears,
And no ray of light appears,
Wait a little, wait a little, you may see!
If your burden seems so great,
That you scarce can bear the weight,
Wait a little, wait a little, you may see.

Chorus:
Wait a little, You may see!
Wait a little, you may see!
Wait a little, wait a little, you may see! you may see!
Wait a little, you may see!
Wait a little, you may see!
Wait a little, wait a little you may see!

2 If your hopes that seemed so bright,
All are doom’d to suffer blight,
Wait a little, wait a little, you may see!
What your heart would fain possess
Might bring only wretchedness,
Wait a little, wait a little, you may see. [Chorus]

3 Where there is no care and pain,
It may all be rendered plain,
Wait a little, wait a little, you may see!
Trust the Lord and do the right,
Till your faith shall turn to sight,
Wait a little, wait a little, you may see. [Chorus]
