Prayer
for Pentecost / The Hope of the Coming of Christ
|
| We hope you come like the wind At this time of despair |
| And that with you bring A breath of fresh air. |
|
| We hope that you clearly say To this poor human race, |
| The ancient, the beautiful Words of truth and grace. |
|
| We hope that you see now True acts of friendship |
| And that you be the joy Of a new human fellowship. |
|
| We hope that you come soon, To falseness overcome, |
| The watchword of promise Hands open and free. |
|
(Jaci Maraschin, Brazil, from Gifts of Many Cultures, c1995) |
