Christian Poems of PATIENCE

(Various authors)

Jesus said, "In your patience ye shall win your souls!" (Lk 21:19ASV)

"O thou of little faith, God hath not failed thee yet! - When all looks dark and gloomy, thou dost soon forget!

"Forget that He has led thee, and gently cleared thy way - On clouds has poured His sunshine, and turned thy night to day!

"And if He's helped thee hitherto, He will not fail thee now - How it must wound His loving heart, to see thy anxious brow!

Oh! doubt not any longer, to Him COMMIT thy way - Whom in the past thou trusted, and is just the same today!" --Anonomous

[See Isa 30:18]

{"... Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil doing!" --Ps 37:(8)RSV}

"Say not the struggle nought availeth, the labor and the wounds are vain, the enemy faints not, nor faileth, and as things have been they remain!

"If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars; it may be, in yon smoke conceal'd, your comrads chase e'en now the fliers, and, but for you, possess the field!

"For while tired waves, vainly breaking, seem here no painful inch to gain, far back, through creeks and inlets making, comes silent, flooding in, the main.

"And not by eastern windows only, when daylight comes, comes in the light, in front, the sun climbs slow, how slowly, but westward, look, the land is bright!" --Arthur Hugh Clough
