151. 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.

Refrain:
Wait a little,
Wait a little,
Wait a little, wait a little, you may see;
Wait a little, you may see;
Wait a little, you may see;
Wait, 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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
