“Be Patient” is a tender, faith-filled hymn written by early Seventh-day Adventist pioneer Annie R. Smith. With heartfelt language and deep spiritual longing, this late-1800s style hymn encourages believers to endure trials with quiet confidence in Christ’s soon return.

Be Patient

Be patient, be patient, no longer despairing,
Though bright hope deferred, fills with sorrow thy heart,
Though bitter the cup that thy soul has been sharing,
Let not fond affection from Heaven depart.
Not long will He tarry, in doubt here us leaving,
He'll come for his children, who for him are grieving.
O wait for the promise, of glory receiving,
When the King in his beauty for us shall appear.

Be patient, be patient, the light shining o'er thee,
Will guide through the shades that encompass the way;
The Saviour has trod through the rough path before thee,
Let not earth's enchantments allure thee astray.
Upward to God be the heart's adoration,
Where ever are flowing pure streams of salvation.
Redemption is nearing! O, seek preparation!
Soon the King in his beauty for us will appear.

Be patient, be patient, a pilgrim and stranger,
Though foes may assail, and the scoffing deride;
Through toil and affliction, temptation and danger,
The saints must be "purified, made white and tried."
Be humble, the spirit of meekness adorning,
Be faithful, proclaiming the last notes of warning,
Be watchful, to hail the glad dawn of that morning,
When the King in his beauty for us shall appear.

Be patient, be patient, a little while longer,
And Jesus the kingdom to us will restore;
Be cheerful, enduring, thy faith growing stronger,
Till trials are passed, and thy conflicts are o'er.
Be patient, the Lord all his saints will deliver,
With love, peace and joy, will surround them forever,
Where no't shall e'er cloud, or their sweet union sever,
With the King in his beauty they'll reign evermore.
