For the Second Sunday of Advent

“Welcome to earth, thou noble guest,

through whom the sinful world is blest!

In my distress thou com’st to me;

what thanks shall I return to thee?”

-- Martin Luther, 1535

First Sunday in Advent

“In Bethlehem long years ago a virgin mother nursed her child.

Who was that baby? Do you know? He was our Savior, meek and mild.

-- A Child’s Christmas Carol, James Montgomery Boice
