- God, be with us who watch and wait With hearts afraid and hopes aside. Our vigil kept in prayerful song, God of time, be near to guide.
- We watch and wait for your new day, The night is long, but dawn is sure. Our hearts make ready, open wide; To be forgiven and made pure.
- The watch night bears our every prayer, We pray our readiness be blessed. Lord, unto longing spirits come, And bring your people hope and rest.
- The new day dawns when Christ shall reign, All power and mystery unsealed in one who comes to bring new life, and God’s full glory to reveal.
