Lord, You establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished You have done for us.

Isaiah 26:2

Thought

Advent is the perfect time to clear and prepare the Way. Advent is a winter training camp for those who desire peace. (Edward Hays)

1. O Lord of life, our only hope
Your radiance shines
On all who look to You in the dark
Emmanuel come, come light our heart
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
Truly our hope is in You
Truly our hope is in You

2. Oh Joy above, all other loves
In You we find, more than enough
We come as we are, O heal and restore,
Come light our hearts
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
Truly our hope is in You
Truly our hope is in You

Prayer

Precious Jesus, not only are You Emmanuel, You are also the Prince of Peace that calms the troubled soul. While awaiting the peace that comes when the Advent season is over, I enjoy the peace within it and pray that others might know it. May they know it through Your mercies which are new every day, and may they know it through my life which testifies of Your light and grace. Amen.
