Hosea

The Benedictine Foundation of the State of Vermont

Come back to me with all your heart.
Don't let fear keep us apart.

Trees do bend, 'though straight and tall;
so must we to others call.

Long have I waited for your coming
home to me and living deeply our new life.

The wilderness will lead you
to your heart where I will speak.

Integrity and justice,
With tenderness you shall know.

Long have I waited for your coming
home to me and living deeply our new life.

You shall sleep secure with peace;
faithfulness will be your joy.

Long have I waited for your coming
home to me and living deeply our new life.
