Wise Waiting

Tune: Song 46

(\'Drop, drop, slow tears\')

Psalm 37 v.34-40

********

Wait on the LORD, and ever keep His way

He shall exalt you, bring you light of day

 

Exalt you to inherit the land, see

Wicked shall be cut off, shall no more be

 

Though I did wicked see once in great power

Spreading themselves like green bay tree each hour

 

Yet did they pass away, and they were not

Found, though I sought them, gone was all their lot

 

Mark those perfect, those whole, mature, upright

Their end is peace, they shall live in God\'s sight

 

But sinners shall be cut off, not abide

But God with the righteous He shall reside

 

The salvation of the righteous it is

Of the LORD, He their strength, they do know this

 

Their strength in the time of trouble for sure

The LORD shall help, deliver them e\'ermore

 

Shall deliver them from the wicked, see

And save them, for their trust in Him it be
