Advent Song: A Candle is Burning
Author: Sandra Dean
Lyrics used with permission. Sung to the tune of “Away in a Manger.”
A candle is burning, a candle of peace,
a candle is a signal that conflict must cease:
for Jesus is coming to show us the way;
a message of peace humbly laid in the hay.
Hymn: Let us break bread together
Author: Unknown
(Hymn will play in full at the end of the podcast.)
Let us break bread together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us break bread together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Let us drink wine together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us drink wine together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Let us praise God together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us praise God together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
