There shall be a performance." (Luke
My words shall be fulfilled in their season
their fixed appointed time). (Greek, Luke
There shall be a performance of those things
That loving heart hath waited long to see
Those words shall be fulfilled to which she clings
Because her God hath promised faithfully
And, knowing Him, she ne'er can doubt His Word
He speaks and it is done." The mighty Lord
There shall be a performance of those things
O burdened heart, rest ever in His care
In quietness beneath His shadowing wings
Await the answer to thy longing prayer.
When thou hast "cast thy care," the heart then sings
There shall be a performance of those things.
There shall be a performance of those things
O tired heart, believe and wait and pray
At eventide the peaceful vesper rings
Though cloud and rain and storm have filled the day.
Faith pierces through the mist of doubt that bars
The coming night sometimes, and finds the stars.
There shall be a performance of those things
O trusting heart, the Lord to thee hath told
Let Faith and Hope arise, and plume their wings
And soar towards the sunrise clouds of gold
The portals of the rosy dawn swing wide
Revealing joys the darkening night did hide.
