Advent – Let the Day Come, Lord
Let the day come, Lord, when our misery will find your mercy.
Let the day come, Lord, when our poverty will find your riches.
Let the day come, Lord, when our path will find the way to your house.
Let the day come, Lord, when our tears will find your smile.
Let the day come, Lord, when our joy will find your heaven.
Let the day come, Lord, when your Church will find the Kingdom.
May you be blest, Father, for that day when our eyes will find your face! Throughout all the time of our life you have not ceased to come before us in your Son Jesus Christ, our Saviour and our brother. (Lucien Deiss – Biblical Prayers)
