1.天国是我永远家乡，无苦无痛也无忧患；
永乐不变平安美境，何人能不心神向往？
2.今世不免劳苦愁烦，难挑重担积压如山；
但愿回我天家安歇，何妨暂时忍受患难?
3.若你感觉荆棘满途，当想救主曾戴荆冠；
若是经历艰难忧患，更可使你圣洁超凡。
4.应当排除万难前进，不要叹息不可灰心；
光明之日已经在望，忍耐等候天国降临。
（副歌）
等候！要忍耐安心等候,等候！
切莫焦急而发愁；
等候！等候！等候！安心等候。
1 The home where changes never come,
Nor pain nor sorrow, toil nor care;
Yes! 'tis a bright and blessed home;
Who would not fain be resting there?
Chorus:
O, wait, meekly wait, and murmur not,
O, wait, meekly wait, and murmur not,
O, wait, O, wait,
O, wait, and murmur not.
2 Yet when bow'd down beneath the load
By heav'n allowed, thine earthly lot,
Thou yearn'st to reach that blest abode,
Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not. [Chorus]
3 If in thy path some thorns are found,
O, think who bore them on His brow;
If grief thy sorrowing heart has found,
It reached a holier than thou. [Chorus]
4 Toil on, nor deem, tho' sore it be,
One sigh unheard, one pray'r forgot;
The day of rest will dawn for me;
Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not, [Chorus]
