expectance

If we exercise expectance, and desire and petition and faithful stewardship, we shall get what we need.

They're upon the last sound; but our expectance of that great Count, whose desires are winged for us, foreflow our entry.

Such expectance, however patient, is not inconsistent with loud crying, but rather finds voice in it.

The silence of patient expectance is changed for the melody of received deliverance.

His voice rose to God ere the dim morning broke, and his heart kept itself in submissive expectance.
