Religion
1 Samuel 13: After we have endured a while
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
After we have endured a while,
The Lord rewards our patient toil.
Establishes our hearts with grace.
And perfects us in holiness;
But if impatiently we rise
To offer sinless sacrifice,
The power we shall not long maintain,
Or kings without our Saviour reign.
