But Be Patient

God is not slow in His judgement

Biding time ’til sin’s complete

He will come with burning anger

All men bowing at His feet

Don’t resent His patient waiting

Neither doubt that He is just

For His justice follows mercy

To a people formed from dust

One day patience, later fire

On that great, terrible Day

Now He draws men to salvation

As Christ’s blood for your sin paid

So look forward to His coming

Pray for right to rule the earth

But be patient, share the gospel

That many may find new birth

Of Hope and Rhymes
