Almighty Father,
your Son came to us in humility as our saviour
and at the last day he will come again in
glory as our judge:give us grace to turn away from darkness
to the light of Christ
that we will be ready to welcome him;
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever. Amen.
Psalm 122
1 I was glad when they said to me:
‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’
2 And now our feet are standing:
Within your gates O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem which is built as a city:
where the pilgrims gather in unity.
4 There the tribes go up the tribes of the Lord:
as he commanded Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 There are set thrones of judgment:
the thrones of the house of David.
6 O pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
may those who love you prosper.
7 Peace be within your walls:
and prosperity in your palaces.
8 For the sake of my brothers and companions:
I will pray that peace be with you.
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God:
I will seek for your good.
LIGHTING OF THE FIRST ADVENT CANDLE
Response is sung after first prayer
O Come, O come Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here, until the Son of God appear:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
Response is sung after candle lighting and prayer
A Candle is burning, a flame warm and bright,
A Candle of hope in December’s dark night.
While Angels sing blessings from heaven’s starry sky,
Our hearts we prepare now for Jesus is nigh.
