My soul with patience waits
for thee, the living Lord:
my hopes are on thy promise built,
thy never-failing word.
My longing eyes look out
for thy enlivening ray,
more duly than the morning watch
to spy the dawning day.
Let Israel trust in God;
no bounds his mercy knows;
the plenteous source and spring from whence
eternal succor flows.
