Advent
A time of waiting
A time of wishing
A time to wonder
A time to wait.
Wait
For the coming winter
For the coming Christmas
For the coming child.
The child
Of expectation
Of fulfilment
Of hope.
Hope
In the darkness, for light to come.
For gifts and games
For family and friends
For all that comes with joy
You have set before us...
O Lord, you have set before us the great hope that your kingdom shall come on earth, and have taught us to pray for its coming; give us grace to discern the signs of its dawning, and to work for the perfect day when your will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Percy Dearmer (1867- 1936)
