37 weeks: Waiting

Matt left the words of this hymn, written by Charles Wesley, on my desk this afternoon while I was out proctoring an exam. Charles wrote it before his wife gave birth to one of their children... the words are very applicable for me as I wait!!

Who so near the birth hast brought,

(Since I on Thee rely)

Tell me, Saviour, wilt thou not

Thy further help supply?

Whisper to my list'ning soul

Wilt though not my strength renew,

Nature's fears and pangs control,

And bring Thy handmaid through?
