Earth was waiting, spent and restless

Walter C. Smith • English

Primary Scripture: Haggai 2:7

Verse 1

Earth was waiting, spent and restless, with a mingled hope and fear, faithful men and women praying, 'Surely, Lord, the day is near: the Desire of all the nations — it is time he should appear!'

Verse 2

Then the Spirit of the Highest to a virgin meek came down, and he burdened her with blessing, and he pained her with renown; for she bore the Lord's anointed for his cross and for his crown.

Verse 3

Earth has groaned and laboured for him since the ages first began, for in him was hid the secret which through all the ages ran — Son of Mary, Son of David, Son of God, and Son of Man.
