The Patience of the Saints

1. True patience is seen in waiting, enduring,
    When suffering, to persevere.
True patience is seen when sin is reproven,
    Uplifting and helping the cross to bear.
    It shows us what Jesus is like.

Refrain
Here is now the patience of the saints:
Those who are keeping all God’s commandments;
Here is now the patience of the saints,
And the faith of Jesus.

2. True patience is seen in resting and sleeping,
    As silently, seed sprouts and grows.
True patience is seen in praying and watching,
    In toiling and hardship, and sacrifice.
    It shows us what Jesus is like.
Refrain

3. True patience is passive, it waits without ceasing,
    Though Heaven is silent awhile.
True patience is active, the lost ever seeking,
    It teaches and heals, goes the second mile.
    It is as if Jesus were here.
Refrain
