Light Four Advent Candles


Lesson: Today we light all four colored candles. Today’s candle is the Angel’s candle. Angels foretold the advent of Christ’s birth as well as his second coming. With the lighting of this fourth candle, we anticipate Christ’s second advent and focus on his salvation.

Prayer: Purify our conscience, Almighty God, by your daily visitation that your Son Jesus Christ, at his coming, may find in us a mansion prepared for himself; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Scripture: Luke 2:13-14
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Song: Hark the Herald Angels Sing  
Hark the herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled”
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem”
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”
