From Luke 2:13-14: “And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom He favors!'”
Appearing to shepherds
Waiting near Bethlehem
Angels rekindle hope
Peace transforms world’s mayhem
Fulfilling promises
Trusting heavenly light
Hope overflows from grace
Peace shall be born this night
Vanquishing world’s darkness
Opening mankind’s eyes
Faith nurtured with new hope
Peace becoming lie-size
Favoring with goodness
Leveling each mountain
Hope sharing blessed gift
Peace fills mercy’s fountain
Blessing with grateful joy
Praising from high above
Savior’s birth bearing hope
Peace transcending with love
Advent Prayer: Heavenly Father, as we remember and reflect upon this Advent season, assist us in turning our hearts toward You as we approach the birth of Your blessed Son. Encourage us to celebrate the gifts received from that very first Christmas: hope, peace, joy, and love. Amen.
As we leave to go on with the rest of our day or night, here is an Advent hymn to send us out with reverent hearts filled with hopeful peace, “Watchman, Tell Us of the Night.”
