What Do We Do, Lord?
Encouraging Thoughts for the Holidays

Wait when the seed is planted,
Wait for the rain to fall;
Wait for the restless green sprout,
Wait while the plant grows tall.
Wait for the coming Saviour,
Wait through the heart’s slow race;
Wait for the kingdom’s dawning,
Wait till we see his face!

Hope when the sun is setting,
Hope through the dark of night;
Hope though the moon is waning,
Hope as we long for light.
Hope for the coming Saviour,
Hope through the heart’s slow race;
Hope for the kingdom’s dawning,
Hope till we see his face!

Trust in the new spring’s promise,
Trust through the summer’s heat;
Trust in the dying autumn,
Trust through the winter sleet.
Trust in the coming Saviour,
Trust in the heart’s slow race;
Trust in the kingdom’s dawning,
Trust till we see his face!

Living like this, may we learn to do Your will.
