Father, now comes Advent again,
Our response is to pause, and recall,
That you sent Jesus, for us and for the world,
Your glory unfurled vulnerably sweet,
that we might see who You are, and be your body
to this suffering earth.

So we light a fire and remember your birth, and with
this flame remember the reality that You are here,
with us,
Emmanuel.

Now gone is all fear
Now redeemed is all the pain
Joy rides in on the wind once again

It is Advent, You’ve come already once.
Banished is the night
Love burns in glory bright
As it was, as it is
We come
now come again to us.
