Advent liturgy<\/h2>\n

This was written to be used as a responsive prayer during the lighting of advent candles.\u00a0\u00a0The leader says the bits in normal text and the congregation responds with the text in bold. \u00a0It can add some depth to the ritual of lighting the candles, whilst being simple enough for all ages to understand.<\/p>\n

As we light our advent candle
\nLight of the world, shine on us.<\/span>
\nAs we prepare for Christmas time
\n<\/span>Light of the world, shine on us.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this world of pain and darkness,
\n<\/span>Light of the world, shine through us.<\/span>
\n<\/span> To all the people who don\u2019t know you,
\n<\/span>Light of the world, shine through us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus you are coming again,
\n<\/span>Light of the world, light the way.<\/span>
\n<\/span>In our service here today
\n<\/span>Light of the world, light the way.
