Reader-As Advent begins again; we light the candle of hope.
We look to the book of Psalms to see what words of hope are offered there.
All-“Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.”
Reader-In this season of Advent, we are reminded to wait for the promises of God to come again into our lives.
All-“And now, O Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.”
Reader-“Hope in God.”
All-“For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth.”
Reader-“But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more.”
All- “But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more.”
(The words in quotes are from the NRSV edition of the Bible from Psalm 33:22, Psalm 39:7, Psalm 42:5a, Psalm 71:5, and Psalm 71:14).
