Not so haste, my heart!

Not so haste, my heart!
Have faith in God and wait,
Although he linger long,
He never comes too late.

He never comes too late;
He knoweth what is best,
Vex not thyself in vain;
Until he cometh, rest.

Until he cometh, rest;
Nor grudge the hours that roll,
The feet that wait for God
Are soonest at the goal.

Are soonest at the goal;
That is not gained by speed,
Then hold thee still, my heart,
For I shall wait his lead!
