Tune: St Margaret
(\'O love that wilt not let me go\')
Psalm 37 v.7-11
********
Rest in the Lord, wait patiently
For Him, fret not, nor troubled be
At those who prosper in their ways
With evil plans they spend their days
They shall not last always
Cease from anger, and wrath forsake
They only more troubles do make
Fret not yourself to do evil
But continue, serve God, do well
And of His goodness tell
For evildoers shall have end
Shall not e\'er to wicked works tend
But they that upon the Lord wait
Shall inherit the earth not late
By God\'s grace, not by fate
A little while, and then the wicked
Shall not be, and then it be said
They not here, though you them may seek
They gone, and so it be, the meek
Shall thrive and not be weak
And they shall then themselves delight
In abundance of peace, and light
Of the Lord it shall on them shine
With His heavenly rays divine
All be clear, bright, and fine
