Patient in tribulation.
WITH trouble laden-grief oppress’d,
Wings had I like a dove,
I’d fly away, and be at rest,
Within a world above!—
2 A world where angels, pure as fair,
Swell Jesus’ glorious train;
Nor sin may make intrusion there,
Nor death an entrance gain;—
3 Where God’s own hand shall wipe away
The tears from every face;
And Jesus to his saints display
His mysteries of grace.
4 Yet, Lord, each murm’ring thought control;
Each anxious wish repress:
To thee I would resign my soul,
And wait till thou shalt bless.
T. J. Judkin
Methodist Episcopal hymnal (1870 edition)
<idle musing>
Not a very common hymn; I had never heard it before and according to hymnary.org it only occurs in five hymnals.
