Wisdom comes to an honest heart
like the crowning bloom on an eager bud.
O earnest one—keep on!
Each stumble brings a stronger stride,
each pang a purer sight.
Each hour is in your Father's hand,
each step upheld—impelled—
by Love's redeeming light.
The patient and true will win their way,
while every day God's loving arms
are firmly underneath.

It will come
