Song 114 “Exercise Patience” Based on James 5:8

1. Our Sov’reign Lord Jehovah

Is zealous for his holy name.

He fervently desires

To clear it from unrighteous blame.

Through many generations,

Great endurance he has shown;

In loving, kindly patience,

Not weary has he grown.

His will is that salvation

All sorts of people might attain.

Long-lasting, loving patience

By God will not have been in vain.

2. The quality of patience

Will help us on our godly path.

It lets our heart be tranquil,

Protects us from unrighteous wrath.

It finds the good in others,

Always hoping for the best.

It helps us keep our balance

In times when we’re distressed.

Along with other virtues

That holy spirit can bestow,

Our patience will assist us

To imitate the God we know.
