Advent 2—the prophets
Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets. I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them.”
The second candle is lit and his response is used
Jesus is the light of the world.
A light no darkness can ever put out.
We sing:
Advent candles tell their story
as we watch and pray,
Longing for the Day of Glory,
‘Come, Lord, soon’ we say.
Pain and sorrow, tears and sadness,
changed for gladness
on that Day.
Prophet voices loudly crying,
making pathways clear;
Glimpsing glory, self-denying,
calling all to hear.
Through their message—challenged, shaken –
hearts awaken:
God is near!

Go now in peace, never be afraid,
God will go with you each hour of every day.
Go now in faith, steadfast, strong and true.
Know he will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love and show you believe.
Reach out to others so all the world can see.
God will be there, watching from above.
Go now in peace, in faith and in love.
