Advent is for preparation
For the coming of the King;
King of hearts and our salvation,
Our being's source and spring.
Advent is for transformation,
Time to pray and be tranquil,
For He comes, man's consolation,
Every open heart to fill.
Dark are hours in Advent,
Dusky twilight fills the day,
Sun rays feeble, weak and faint,
With the skies a murky gray.
Then the days begin to grow,
For the Savior brings increase,
Tepid hearts begin to glow
To our Sun, Christ Adonis.
Advent is a new Debut,
New beginning, new a start,
To make thrive and bloom and bough,
And the song strings of the heart.
Sacred is the Advent Season,
To prepare for Him t'is meant,
Jesus only is the reason
And the joy of His Advent.
Magnificat~- the maiden praised
The Lord and hugged E lizabeth
Whihad the lowly maiden raised
To glory high and blessedness
Magnificat, Magnificat!
The savior of the fallen world.
Redeemer, - the Adveniat
Has in her womb his finger curled.
