Advent 1—the Advent hope
Jesus said, “Keep awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.”
The first 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.
