Sing the first four verses in any order, amend, adapt and enjoy
We gather by the Advent ring
We gather by the Advent ring
in expectation of our King.
We light a candle and await
the hope we long to celebrate.
Prophets foretold a wondrous birth;
Glory to God and peace on earth!
We gather by the Advent ring
in expectation of our King.
We light a candle and await
the peace we long to
celebrate.
Like Mary, may our anthem be:
“Thy kingdom come, and come through me!”
We gather by the Advent ring
in expectation of our King.
We light a candle and await
the love we long to celebrate.
May we live out God’s special care
for all his children, everywhere!
We gather by the Advent ring
in expectation of our King.
We light a candle and await
the joy we long to celebrate.
There’s room enough for one and all:
just like the shepherds, hear God’s call!
We gather by the Advent ring
to greet the coming of the King.
Round Christ’s own candle we unite
to mark the end of death’s dark night.
Drive out dull misery and fear
for Christ, the Lord of Light,
is here!
Tune 294 Sussex Carol
Words R Hill and A Shuttleworth
