Advent Candles In Our Worship Composer: Paul G. Donelson Lyricist: Isa. 7:10-17; Rom. 1:1-7; Matt. 1:18-25 Midi 1. Advent candles in our worship point us to God's Holy Child. Though creation may be broken, it can yet be reconciled. Born of Mary, son of Joseph, Love's Incarnate Mystery, calls the world to faith united, children of the Deity. 2. Promised to the world in scripture, sent to us from God above, Gives us grace to be apostles. We now serve the Christ of Love. As the Infant lies before us, ever mindful we shall be: This is Christ, the One who saves us, Christ who died at Calvary. 3. Let us have the faith of Joseph, trusting those angelic dreams. God is with us as a shepherd, leading us to quiet streams. Let us have the faith of Mary, that the child may be in us. Love is born wheree'er we share God's peace with hearts so generous.
