We are waiting, O God, for the day of peace. Give us the will to
bring that day through our own simple goodness and hope. Fill us with patient
desire, that our work may be holy, and our holiness bright, through the Christ
for whose coming we long, and the Spirit in whose presence we live. Amen.
Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
1. Come, thou
long expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art;
joy of every longing heart.
2. Born thy
people to deliver,
born a child and yet a King,
born to reign in us forever,
now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal spirit
rule in all our hearts alone;
by thine all sufficient merit,
raise us to thy glorious throne.
