Lyrics:

Patience, people, till the Lord is come.
See the farmer await the yield of the soil.
He watches it in winter and in spring rain.
Patience, people, till the Lord is come.

Patience, people, till the Lord is come.
You have seen the purpose of the Lord.
You know of His compassion and His mercy.
Patience, people, till the Lord is come.

Patience, people, till the Lord is come.
Steady your hearts, for the Lord is close at hand.
And do not grumble, one against the other.
Patience, people, till the Lord is come.
