1. A patient presence broods | |||
and warms the well-placed nest, | |||
untroubled and alert, | |||
expectant and at rest. | |||
2. She waits because she know | |||
a process has begun | |||
again there will be life | |||
before her brooding's done. | |||
3. O nesting Spirit, praise | |||
to you who warm the earth, | |||
and every longing heart | |||
that waits again for birth. | |||
4. Your presence nurtures hope, | |||
and hope in time creates | |||
in us a will to bear | |||
the life for which we wait. | |||

1. A patient presence broods
and warms the well-placed nest,
untroubled and alert,
expectant and at rest.
2. She waits because she know
a process has begun
again there will be life
before her brooding's done.
3. O nesting Spirit, praise
to you who warm the earth,
and every longing heart
that waits again for birth.
4. Your presence nurtures hope,
and hope in time creates
in us a will to bear
the life for which we wait.
