There ared a lot of Advent Hymns whch are beautiful, but one that is very meaningful to me I have often made as my personal prayer to ask God to help me receive the Christ Child into my heaert anew. I would like to offer those words to my readers as their Advent prayer:
O how shall I rceive Thee, How meet Thee on Thy way,
Blest hope of every nation, my soul's delight and stay?
O Jesus, Jesus, give me Now by Thine own pure light
To know what e'er is pleasing And welcome in Thy sight.
Love caused Thy incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me;
Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty.
O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace,
In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race!
He who alone can cheer you Is standing at the door;
He brings His pity near you, And bids you weep no more.
He comes, who contrite sinners Will with the children place,
The children of His Father, the heirs of life and grace.
Amen.
