The Twenty-Third Day of Advent 

Oh, Jesus who descended from Jesse, 

you are a sign of God's love. 

I feel hopeful and expectant, 

filled with a rebirth of joy and love.

I depend you so much. 

You are a rock for my belief 

and a sign of God's love.

Fill me with your praise! 

I want to sing your glory, 

filled with joy 

for the message of hope you send.

I don't always understand 

when you are acting on my behalf. 

Thank you for the message of hope you send me. 

Give me true faith and love 

as I celebrate the mystery 

of how you came to be with us.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel 

Shall come to thee, O Israel!

Amen.

Ta, Ta for now!
