O little heart


Be patient, O little heart,
Be not confused with voices of blame,
Be attentive to sweet tones of love.

Be patient, O little heart
Be joyful in mourning what is not to be lively,
Be not scared in what you believe in.

Be patient, O little heart
Be not forgetful for the earthly blessing,
Be extra careful not to regard it as a heavenly treat.

Be patient, O little heart
Be not weary and worried,
Be still and draw in the Higher presence.

Be patient, O little heart
Be slow to complain,
Be quick to forgive.

Be patient, O little heart
Be constant in seeking,
Be hopeful and 
faithful.

Be patient, 
O little heart.
