Ave Maria Meditations
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 Savior,
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 Savior, 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 Savior, Trust in the heart’s slow race:
Trust in the kingdom’s dawning, Trust till we see His face!
