And do not delay.

But we know you see us.

This and every  day.

We pray that those who trust in your compassion.

May find solace and relief in your coming.

As we will be eventually released by your passion.

Indeed hope is forthcoming.

Who lives and reign with God the father.

In the unity of the Holy Spirit.

For ever and ever.

We know it , we hear it.

And so we are close to his coming.

And happiness without reckoning.

……

This , the day before

Is one of expectant hope

Of tomorrow’s birth
