But if, impatient, thou let slip thy cross,
Thou wilt not find it in this world again,
Nor in another; here, and here alone,
Is given thee to suffer for God's sake.
In other worlds we shall more perfectly
Serve Him and love Him, praise Him, work for Him,
Grow near and nearer Him with all delights;

Canst thou not suffer then one hour, -- or...

Your earnest plea He will never forget;
Wait on the Lord, trust His Word and be patient
Have faith in God, He'll answer yet.
Have faith God in your pain and your sorrow,
His heart is touched with your...
