Pa¤tient¤ly con¤tin¤ue in the way with Je¤sus,
Joy¤ful¤ly o¤bey¤ing the Fa¤ther’s bless¤ed will;
Mid sin’s an¤gry bil¤lows, heark¤en to Him call¤ing
O¤ver the wa¤ters say¤ing, “Peace, be still.”

“I will nev¤er leave thee,” sweet¤est words of com¤fort,
From the lips of Je¤sus who walked life’s trou¤bled sea;
“Thou art not for¤sak¤en, I am with thee al¤ways,
Dark¤ness or sun¤shine; ev¤er fol¤low me.”

None so true and ten¤der as the Man of Sor¤rows,
From this world’s il¤lu¤sions, oh, let Him keep thee free;
He will lead thee on¤ward to in¤her¤it glo¤ry;
Rich¤es un¤fad¤ing He will give to thee.

Pa¤tient¤ly con¤tin¤ue with Him in the con¤flict,
Pa¤tient¤ly en¤dur¤ing with Him un¤to the end;
Num¤bered with His cho¤sen, found a¤mong the faith¤ful,
One on whom Je¤sus al¤ways can de¤pend.
