Wild Hope, written by Lora Braun

Описание: I played through this beautiful song which I found in the Voices Together hymnal. Lora Braun's original lyrics were altered (and a verse omitted) in the hymnal version, so I thought I'd share them here.

There’s a wild hope on the wind
Her whisper is heard on the breeze
The gale is her shout, calling us out
There’s a wild hope on the wind
O God in the wind Come, gather us in
Be our courage and promise
The future is dim, but we want to live into
A wild, wild hope
 
There’s a wild hope in the trees
Her skin is as rough as the bark
As smooth as a leaf, we can feel her belief
There’s a wild hope in the trees
O God in the trees, Come, heal our disease
Be our courage and promise
The future is dim, but we want to live into
A wild, wild hope
 
There’s a wild hope in the skies
Her gown is the blue of forever
The purple of night is her heart’s pure delight
There’s a wild hope in the skies
O God in the skies, Come, open our eyes
Be our courage and promise
The future is dim, but we want to live into
A wild, wild hope
 
There’s a wild hope in the earth
The fields are her breasts giving nurture
The dark underground is where life can abound
There’s a wild hope in the earth
O God in the earth, Come, aid our rebirth
Be our courage and promise
The future is dim, but we want to live into
A wild, wild hope
