This poem is written from the perspective of the saints who lived during the inter-testamental period - that long period of silence and waiting.
Lord, Break the Silence Long Endured
M. Justin Wainscott © 2009 (Advent)
Lord, break the silence long endured,
And end the darkened night;
Let anxious fears all rest assured,
With news of coming light.
O how we need to hear your voice,
The good news that you bring;
Good news in which we can rejoice,
The coming of our King.
Let prophets’ words be now fulfilled
In all their grand design;
And mysteries be now revealed,
Through grace and pow’r divine.
The second Adam, send to us,
Redeem our fallen race;
Immanuel, great God with us,
Come quickly with your grace.
