aaaah-oooh-aaaaah
(Verse 1)
Mary and Joseph, on the path so long,A guiding star lights up the mountain pass.
From Nazareth they carried a hopeful song,A promise from God, for all time to last.
In Mary's heart, a new beginning grew,To Bethlehem they walked, where prophecy is true
.They carried the future, a peace divine,A little child whose light will brightly shine.
Aah-aaah-Ah
(Verse 2)
The elders recall the ancient words of old,Of the coming Child, a story true and bold.
The young ones listen to the truth that lies,Within our hearts when the Advent candle flies.
From generation to generation we tell,Of the faith that carries us, doing well.
We look at our children, a mirror of grace,Wiping away the tears in life's rough space.
Aah-aaah-Ah
(Chorus)
Advent light is kindling our faith,To Bethlehem we walk with calm breath.
ah
The darkness past, let it rest, let it fade,A new light dawns, a glorious parade.
ah
Come, sing of hope, of love and peace so sweet,A Child shall guide us, making life complete!
(Verse 3)
See, Joseph leads, a faithful, patient man,While Mary carries a great miracle planned.
Their love is a stronghold, a steady hand,That keeps us together throughout the land.
Teach us to love, as they loved their Son,To cherish life's worth till the battle is won.
To see in our neighbor the glimmer of God's light,Giving warmth in the cold, winter night.
Aah-aaah-Ah
(Bridge)
(choir)
The Bible speaks: You shall call his name Jesus, the scriptures clearly state.
A new beginning beckons, darkness meets its fate.Let us dare to trust, let us open the door right now,
For the light is near, beneath the heavens’ bow.
(Chorus)
aaaah-aaah
Advent light is kindling our faith,To Bethlehem we walk with calm breath.
ah
The darkness past, let it rest, let it fade,A new light dawns, a glorious parade.
ah
Come, sing of hope, of love and peace so sweet,A Child shall guide us, making life complete!
(Verse 4)
So let us cast the old darkness away,The bitter words that brought us dismay.
The Advent night brings a sacred, holy peace,A chance for a new, pure time, a release.
Let us build a bridge of charity strong and wide,Between rich and poor, where no one must hide.
For faith, hope, and love are the guides of our way,And the Child in the manger brings eternal day.
Aah-aaah-Ah
(chorus)
aaaah-aaah
Advent light is kindling our faith,To Bethlehem we walk with calm breath.
ah
The darkness past, let it rest, let it fade,A new light dawns, a glorious parade.
ah
Come, sing of hope, of love and peace so sweet,A Child shall guide us, making life complete!
