As we are waiting for a sign
As we long for Christ’s birth.
We trust your word revealed to us
Is hope for all the earth.

As we are watching for a sign
As we long for new life.
We trust your word revealed to us
An end to all earth’s strife.

As we are wondering what come next.
As we seek peace and joy.
We trust your word revealed to us.
Proclaimed in a baby boy.

As we are welcoming to Christ.
When he is born anew.
We trust your word revealed to us
Today and all year through.
