Call To Worship: Advent Hope
Like the shepherds, we wait and watch for the appearing of the mystery of our great Savior – Jesus Christ.
O hope of heaven, come to hopeless earth, and be found in us today.
God has made known the riches, of the glory, of this mystery: Christ in you, the hope of glory.
And this God of all hope will fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Christ, the hope of all the earth, the joy of every longing heart, be found in us today.
Classic Prayer: Basil the Great
For Right Blessings
O Lord our God, teach us, we beseech Thee, to ask Thee aright for the right blessings. Steer Thou the vessel of our life toward Thyself, Thou tranquil Haven of all storm-tossed souls. Show us the course wherein we should go. Renew a willing spirit within us. Let Thy Spirit curb our wayward senses, and guide and enable us unto that which is our true good, to keep Thy laws, and in all our works evermore to rejoice in Thy glorious and gladdening Presence. For Thine is the glory and praise from all Thy saints forever and ever. Amen.
