Call To Worship: O’Emmanuel
LEADER: The Lord Himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
PEOPLE: O God with us, our King and Giver of Law; come to save us. You are the Lord our God!
LEADER: The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing.
ALL: For the Lord is our judge; the Lord is our lawgiver; the Lord is our king; He will save us! Amen!
Classic Prayer: Gregory of Nazianzus
O Light that knew no dawn, that shines to endless day, All things in earth and heav’n are lustered by Thy ray; No eye can to Thy throne ascend, nor mind Thy brightness comprehend. In supplication meek to Thee I bend the knee; O Christ, when Thou shalt come, in love remember me, And in Thy kingdom, by Thy grace,Grant me a humble servant’s place. Thy grace, O Father, give, I humbly Thee implore; And let Thy mercy bless Thy servant more and more. All grace and glory be to Thee, From age to age eternally. .
