| Show ONLY WAIT oft there comes a gentle whisper oer me stealing when my trials or my burdens seem too great like the sweet voiced bells of evening softly it is saying to my spirit only wait when I 1 cannot understand my fathers leading and it seems to be but hard and cruel fate still I 1 hear that gentle whisper ever pleading god is faithful god is working only wait I 1 when the promise seems to linger long delaying and I 1 tremble lest perhaps it come too late then I 1 hear the gentle whisper ever saying though it tarry it is coming only wait when I 1 see the wicked prosper in their sinning and the righteous pressed by many a cruel strait 1 I remember that this is only the beginning and whisper to my spirit only wait oh how little soon will seem our hardest sorrow and how trifling is our present brief estate could we see it in the light of loves tomorrow oh how easy it would be for us to wait albert B simpson |
