O Child of God

Ps.30.5

O child of God, wait patiently when dark thy path may be,

And let thy faith lean trustingly on Him Who cares for Thee;

And though the clouds hang drearily upon the brow of night,

Yet in the morning joy will come, and fill thy soul with light.

O child of God, He loveth thee, and thou art all His own;

With gentle hand He leadeth thee, thou dost not walk alone;

And though thou watchest wearily the long and stormy night,

Yet in the morning joy will come, and fill thy soul with light.

O child of God, how peacefully He calms thy fears to rest,

And draws thee upward tenderly, where dwell the pure and blest;

And He Who bendeth silently above the gloom of night,

Will take thee home where endless joy shall fill thy soul with light.
