Hymn -- "Wait My Soul, Upon the Lord"

Cincinnati Primitive Baptist Church http://www.cincinnatipbc.org/
has a feature on their website that spotlights a hymn, and tonight when I went to their website, I found this hymn…I love these words, written in 1835:


"Wait, My Soul, Upon the Lord

Wait, my soul, upon the Lord,
To His gracious promise flee,
Laying hold upon His Word,
“As Thy days thy strength shall be.”

If the sorrows of thy case
Seem peculiar still to thee,
God has promised needful grace:
“As Thy days thy strength shall be.”

Days of trial, days of grief,
In succession thou mayst see;
This is still thy sweet relief:
“As Thy days thy strength shall be.”

Rock of Ages, I'm secure,
With Thy promise, full and free,
Faithful, positive, and sure,
“As Thy days thy strength shall be.”

- W.F. Lloyd, 1835
