(Verse 1)
The Advent lights are kindled, shining blue,
A glimmer of the Light that soon breaks through.
Mary and Joseph, they wait in the night,
For the Child who changes all with His might. Isaiah seven:fourteen sounds,
Behold, a virgin shall conceive,A miracle so great, what we truly believe.
This is Love’s bright, radiant, blessed sign, A Light that will shine for all time.
(choir)
A Light that will shine for all time.
(Verse 2)
Love binds the parents and children so tight,
In a chain that is strong, a sacred shield of light.
See the elder's kind, wise and gentle hand, Reminding us of the eternal bond of the land.
Learn from Joseph to serve in humility's grace,
And from Mary to bear with faith in this place.
We recognize in the Child's clear look, A fresh chance to start, from the pages of the book.
(Chorus)
Advent light is kindling our faith, To Bethlehem we walk with calm breath.
The darkness past, let it rest, let it fade,
A new light dawns, a glorious parade.
Come, sing of hope, of love and peace so sweet,
A Child shall guide us, making life complete.
(choir)
A Child shall guide us, making life complete!
(Verse 3)
We open our hearts to the one who is weak,To the neighbor who shelter and comfort seeks.
Like Mary and Joseph who found no room to stay, We’ll make space for those who have gone astray.
To share our abundance, our bread and our time,That is Advent's message, sublime.
To build a community where no one stands alone,Where all are embraced, and seeds of kindness are sown.
(Chorus)
Advent light is kindling our faith, To Bethlehem we walk with calm breath.
The darkness past, let it rest, let it fade,
A new light dawns, a glorious parade.
Come, sing of hope, of love and peace so sweet,
A Child shall guide us, making life complete!
(choir)
A Child shall guide us, making life complete!
(Bridge)
(choir)
The Light is near, and the shadows must flee.
Our world can be new, for all eyes to see.
Let us cast aside all doubt and all fear,
And turn to the day that is drawing so near.
Love bears all things, the scriptures clearly proclaim,
That is the reason we joyfully name.
(Verse 4)
Now the dark things are laid in the grave below, Because the Light from Bethlehem will grow,
It is a new start, a fresh leaf to turn,To love one another, the lessons to learn.
We look to the star that shines so bright, On the way to Jesus, our sacred light.
Let hope and faith be our strong defense, While we await the Child, our small immense.
(harp solo)
aaaah-mmmh-aah-oh
ah-ah-ooh-ahah
(Chorus)
Advent light is kindling our faith, To Bethlehem we walk with calm breath.
The darkness past, let it rest, let it fade,
A new light dawns, a glorious parade.
Come, sing of hope, of love and peace so sweet,
A Child shall guide us, making life complete!
A Child shall guide us, making life complete!
