Patience, grant it, or a healer for my wounds,
Patience, grant it, or a healer for my wounds,
Else, the art of torment, bestow on me,
Patience, grant it, or…
Weary, dimmed, the eyes that sought and sought,
Weary, dimmed, the eyes that sought and sought,
Weary, dimmed, the eyes that sought and sought,
O, God, in my weary feet, a light now pour,
Patience, grant it, or…
The lifetime comfort, in harsh sun's blaze,
The lifetime comfort, in harsh sun's blaze,
To that burning wall, a shade provide,
Else, the art of torment, bestow on me,
Patience, grant it, or…
My heart's desire, that no tear should fall,
My heart's desire, that no tear should fall,
My heart's desire, that no tear should fall,
In my hands, a toy that brings delight,
Else, the art of torment, bestow on me,
Patience, grant it, or a healer for my wounds,
Patience, grant it, or…
