HYMN - True Son of God, Eternal Light
Advent
True Son of God, Eternal Light,
Come down to earth, illume the night!
Cancel the curse of Paradise,
Haste Thou to pay Redemption’s price!
Four thousand years was hope delayed,
While devils mocked, and prophets prayed;
Four thousand years a cheerless gloom
Held all the earth in sin and doom.
O Long-Desired of Nations, haste!
Lo, demons lay Thy Kingdom waste:
See hands outstretched for help in vain,
Hear cries of woe, despair, and pain!
O Lord of Hosts, we pray Thee, come!
Put down the pow'rs of heathendom;
Rise up in all Thy matchless might,
Drive back the troops of hell in flight!
God's Kingdom come, His will be done!
May all men serve the Triune One;
Sing hymns of thanks, thou sainted host,
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

Praise and glory be to Thee for ever.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because He hath visited, and hath wrought the redemption of His people.
And He hath raised up to us a powerful salvation in the family of David His servant.
As He spake by the mouth of His holy Prophets who were from the beginning.
That He would save us from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us.
To show His mercy toward our fathers, and to be mindful of His holy covenant.
According to the oath which He swore to our father Abraham to grant to us.
That being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve Him without fear.
In holiness and justice before Him all our days.
Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, the rising Light hath visited us from on high:
To enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shades of death, to direct our feet in the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Let us pray. O Eternal Father, Who in compassion to lost men, didst send Thy only Son to become our Redeemer from that unhappy state: grant, we beseech Thee, that we, who are assembled to acknowledge the mercy of this time, may find the benefit of it in our souls, in the pardon of all our sins. Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Who with Thee and the Holy Ghost art one God, now and forever, and to ages of ages. ℟. Amen.
