Climbing the Heights

Patience be my guide

Patience be my guide
Perseverance in thee may I
Oft and always abide 

Though the burning hours
May flair and fade
May my heart
In thee always
Be stayed

Who can know
What an hour
Or day may bring

Yea hope may handle
Anything for love
Knows no other way
Yet faithful to wait
And to pray

This it's constant ally
For no other thing
Can comfort
In the drought 
And doubt

Of the passing fog
That bog the mind
To wander its ways
Of faith

For when practiced
It's pattern proved
All doubt be removed

For hope shall always remain 
This it's constant refrain 
When love has
All things to gain

Can heal the wounds
Of loss and pain
For it gave all
To save

That which once lost
May ere yet again
Be found

-Joshua Lee Foist
