Advent Introits: Lamps Lit

“Coming Lord, our Righteousness,
we are lifted upward by the fulfillment of your advent,
we are propelled forward by the promise of your coming.

You burst forth as a tender shoot,
to angel chorus and shepherd shouts.
The springing up of your kingdom was,
like the birth of all plants, tiny.

(light first candle)
We keep our lamps lit
in anticipation of your budding kingdom,
O Branch of David, holy Vine.
May we have ears to hear and eyes to see your advent.” 

(Advent I: Hope)

Five scripture-centric responsive liturgies for use in Advent candle lighting, loosely related to the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love.
