We are people who wait with hope. In this world of pain and brokeness that is so very obvious, we are people who live hopefully in Advent.
Our Lord is coming.
The words of Charles Wesley help us express this hopeful waithing:
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;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
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
Rulle in all our hearts alone,
By thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to thy glorious throne.
Come, Lord Jesus, Come.
