“Be patient and submissive—strength is given
For every step along the weary way.
And for it all thou’lt render praise to Heaven,
When dreary night gives place to Perfect Day.

“Yes, Perfect Day, the day of God eternal,
When not a shadow shall flit o’er the scene
In that fair land where all is bright and vernal,
And we will be with Christ and naught between.

“Wait, then, dear heart; control thy sad emotion;
God will subdue each angry wind and wave;
And when the voyage ends across life’s ocean
Within the haven of sweet rest will save.”
