The Family's Warmest Glow

(Verse 1)

Mary and Joseph, a small family of two,
Soon they will hold the Child, faithful and true.
In the cold and the darkness, they find a stall,
Where the universe's Light shall shine for all.
His name shall be called Immanuel,
God with us, in our lives and our soul.
This is the hope that the world has awaited,
A new beginning, so beautifully stated.

(Choir)

ah
hope,  love and peace 
ah
hope,  love and peace 
ooh

(Verse 2)

Let us build a home full of love and of cheer, 
Where children learn giving, 
holding each dear.
Let us remember the elders, 
the wise ones who knew,
And taught us the way, strong and true.
Parents, look at your child with the gaze of Mary mild,
See the joy and the faith that your heart beguiled.
Be Joseph's strength, be Mary's deep peace,
Show your neighbor that Christmas brings true release.

(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!

(Bridge)

From the book of Luke we hear the angels sing,
A praise song to God, that salvation will bring.
We leave behind what was heavy and cold,
For the Light that is coming, a story to be told. 
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it,
Let that truth be our guide in every minute.

(Verse 3)

A new start awaits in each Advent flame,
A chance to show love, and honor His name.
To turn away from all selfish desire,
And turn to the one who needs comfort and fire.
For the Child who will soon lie in the hay,
Shows us the path to our hearts every day.
To love our neighbor as ourselves, clear and true,
That is the faith that carries us through.

ah
hope, love and peace
ah
hope, love and peace
ooh

(Vers 4)

We have walked through the darkness, but the Light is so near,
Through winter's cold moments, and all that we fear.
Let us light the fourth candle with joy and with grace,
On the promise of Jesus, in this sacred place.
Let us remember Mary, Joseph, and the Child's deep rest,
And carry that charity in our heart and chest.
So let us sing of faith, hope, and love so bright,
In Advent, before the Savior, our eternal Light.

(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
ah
hope, love, and peace
ah
A Child shall guide us
ah
hope, love, and peace
oh
hope, love, and peace
oh
