O Faithful Heart

O Faithful Heart

By storm and tempest tossed

How long the time

Till Jordan’s river crossed

The life-long dream

After Pentecost

So long ago my Lord was lost

So much have I borne and carried here

Anything but that greatest cost could I bear

Would I give to have my dear Lord back?

O faithful heart how dear to me

Whence I come again

I’ll take you home

The journey’s long and winding

O faithful heart I watch you from afar

I hear your prayers, I see your tears

I know how difficult your life to bear

But worry not 
O faithful heart and do not fear

For when I come, I’ll draw you near and take you home

For many tears I’ve watched from on high

As you struggle through your life so drear

But when I look, inside your heart I see

Your loving heart, it beats with me!

I understand just how it is with thee

By storm and tempest tossed

I see my strength, it bides in thee

O faithful heart abide in me

And keep faith strong while you wait

So patiently
