We wait in hope
We wait in hope for hope to come:
promised of old; the righteous one.
Help us to watch, expect and pray
and then to greet Messiah's day.
We read the story of your plan:
this world redeemed by heaven's Son.
Grace breaks upon the present time;
mercy and hope through David's line.
We hear the prophet's voice ring clear:
'changed hearts and lives are needed here'.
So, when the Spirit fires your Church,
make us a sign for all who search.
We go to share this great Good News:
heirs of the promise - we will choose
to live in hope that all may sing
praises to Christ, the infant king.
