“See Fig Tree Leaves Now Sprouting”
Tune: ES IST EIN’ ROS’ 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 (“Lo How a Rose Ere Blooming”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2021
Music: Geistliche Kirchengesäng, 1599

See fig tree leaves now sprouting
Soon summer comes again
Creation groans in labor
For God’s reign to begin
We wait with bated breath
Homesick for God’s true kin-dom
Age without hate or death

Sun, moon, and stars above us
Speak of God’s promised day
To make space for our new home
This world must pass away
When we are filled with dread
The words of Christ uphold us:
“Arise and raise your head”
