1 Let us be patient, patient,
Think of the growing grain,
How long it lies in the darksome earth,
Nurtured by sun and rain.
Refrain:
Waiting, praying, striving day by day,
Something to do for the Master’s sake,
Something for Him to say.
2 Let us be patient, patient,
Strive as the grain to grow;
The tender grass and the ripening ear,
Heralds the corn we know. [Refrain]
3 Let us be patient, patient,
Day after day to gain,
Till fully ripe all our sheaves may be
Gathered like golden grain. [Refrain]
