Hymn of the Week is back

This weekend we share two music reflections with you. We hope that these will help you on your Advent journey as we ‘Prepare a way for the Lord.’

 

Hilary has chosen Emmanuel by Buddy Caesar. 

Emmanuel, your name brings us life,

Emmanuel, your birth a dawning light,

Sent to us a servant who listens to our call,

Emmanuel, God is with us now.


Emmanuel, your name brings us peace;

Emmanuel, you’re one within our reach,

Your life guides our way,

your love begins each day,

Emmanuel, God is with us now.


Emmanuel, a long-awaited name;

Emmanuel, life is not the same –

A new age has dawned,

your dreams will lead us on,

Emmanuel, God is with us now.

 

Emmanuel, God is with us, Emmanuel


And Bryan has recorded O Come, O Come Emmanuel.

We invite you to take some time out to listen to these and consider:

- what or who in your life makes you aware that ‘God is with us now’?

- how can you show God’s presence to others as we approach the coming of our Emmanuel?
