We teach what we know, but we reproduce what we are. – John Maxwell
A TEXT
1 Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, •
you that led Joseph like a flock;
2 Shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim, •
before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.
3 Stir up your mighty strength •
and come to our salvation.
4 Turn us again, O God; •
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved. Psalm 80
A PRAYER FOR ADVENT SUNDAY
Almighty God,
Give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness,
and put upon us the armour of light,
now in the time of this mortal life,
in which thy Son Jesus Christ
came to visit us in great humility;
that in the last day,
when he shall come again in his glorious Majesty
to judge both the quick and the dead,
we may rise to the life immortal;
through him who liveth and reigneth with thee
and the Holy Spirit, now and ever. Amen
