The Last Laugh Is For the Patient

Be patient, oh, honored one 
The trials have just begun
Run fast to the Almighty
That's how tests are won

Hold on to patience, my dear 
You shall not grieve nor fear 
It may seem too hazy now 
The horizon shall soon clear 

Be patient and never go amiss
Seek His face with life in bliss
Your Lord shall surely give you
And you shall be well pleased

Hold on, my dear, this chance is ours
This present clearly smells like flowers
Be still and calm amidst the storm
'What is patience but a few hours'

Be patient for if you only knew 
The last and final laugh is sweet
And it certainly belongs to you
