Wait on the Lord

1The bur-den waits of earth-ly care, Our pain and grief and loss; Joy is found in Je-sus' love,
Yet when we com-plain of tri-als there, To He who bore the cross; In grief thy strength hast thou found,
In thy path-way thorns are found, O think who bore them on his brow; In grief thy strength hast thou found,
Joy up, my soul, though dark the way, Come walking thro' the glo-ry land, In His all per-fect love.

RefrainWait - up-on the Lord, wait up-on the Lord, He will re-new thy strength.
If wait-ing by faith, Wait on the Lord, wait up-on the Lord, He will re-new thee at length;
Wait on the Lord, wait up-on the Lord, He will re-new thy strength.

2Who would not sing to praise their God! their hope? Wait - up-on the Lord up-on the Lord, He - shall re-
Wait, meek-ly wait, and trust and pray; Wait on the Lord, meek-ly wait, and trust thy strength.
Wait, meek-ly wait, and trust and pray; Wait on the Lord, wait up-on the Lord, He will re-new thy strength.
