Awake! Awake, and greet the new morn, for angels herald its dawning. Sing out your joy, for soon he is born, behold the child of our longing.
We continue the Advent Season with words of hope from the prophet Isaiah of how God brings forth life in places where there is hopelessness. As God’s people we wait with patience for the coming of the Lord, even as we rejoice at his presence this day. We pray that God would open our eyes and ears to the wonders of Christ’s advent among us.
