| He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. A sound heart is the life of the flesh. (Prov. 14:29‑30) |
| My beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. (James 1:19‑20) |
Lord, grant me the gift of forbearance,
A merciful spirit I pray;
That suffers the wrongs of another
And seeks not the ill to repay. |
Lord, grant me the gift of forbearance,
Thy tender, compassionate grace,
That others beholding my visage
The light of Thy likeness may trace. |
