ADVENT CANDLE LIGHTING

Leader 1: Last Sunday we lit the candle of joy. We light it and the candles of hope and peace again as we remember that Christ will come again and bring us everlasting peace and joy. (a person lights the candles of hope, peace, and joy)

Leader 2: The fourth candle of Advent is the Candle of Love. It's light is meant to remind us of the love that God has for us.

Leader 1: Jesus shows us God's perfect love. He is God's love in human form. The bible says that "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."

Leader 2: Love is patient, love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful or conceited, rude or selfish. Love is not quick to take offense, it keeps no records of wrongs, it does not gloat over other people's troubles, but rejoices in the right, the good, and the true. There is nothing that love cannot face, there is no limit to its faith, to its hope, to its endurance. Love never ends.

Leader 1: We light this candle today to remind us of how God's perfect love is found in Jesus. (Light the Fourth Candle) Let us pray: PEOPLE: Creator and covenant God, thank you for the promise fulfilled. Help us to fulfill the promise you have placed within each of us. Thank you for Jesus, the eternal light, who dispels darkness. Help us to be lights of your love in the dark times of others. Almighty God, we bow humbly and joyfully in your presence. We glorify you. We praise you. We sing ALLELUIA! Amen!

పల్లవి: ఆనందం ఆనందం ఏసు పుట్టెనెంతో ఆనందం

సంతోషం సంతోషం క్రీస్తు జన్మించె సంతోషం - 2

(ఆ)దేవుడే నరునిగ మనకొరకు జన్మించె

లేఖనం నెరవేర్పుకై ఈ భువికి అరుదెంచె .. ఆనందం ఆనందం..

1. బెత్లెహేమనే ఒక గ్రామంలో పసిబాలునిగ పుట్టెను

తూర్పు దిక్కున ఆ నింగిలో ఒక తార ఉదయించెను - 2

గొల్లలు జ్ఞానులు పరవశులై పూజించిరి

ఆ రీతిగా మనమందరం ఆరాధన చేసెదం

ఆనందం ఆనందం ఏసు పుట్టెనెంతో ఆనందం

సంతోషం సంతోషం క్రీస్తు జన్మించె సంతోషం

2. కన్య మరియకు పరిశుద్దుడు కుమారునిగ పుట్టెను

తన ప్రజలను పాపంనుండి తానే రక్షించెను - 2

దూతలు పాడిరి సమాధానమని చెప్పిరి

ఏసుని నమ్మితే రక్షింపబడుదువు ఇప్పుడే .. ఆనందం ఆనందం..

ఉదయ కాంతి రేఖలో

పల్లవి: ఉదయ కాంతి రేఖలో - బెత్లెహేము పురమున 

అవతరించెను బాల యేసు - పాపాలు మోయు గొర్రె పిల్ల

పాపాలు మోయు గొర్రె పిల్ల 

1. పరమ పుత్రుని మోహన రూపుగని - తల్లి మరియ మురిసే 

బాల యేసుని మహిమ రూపు - ఈ జగానికి వెలుగై 

గొల్లలు జ్ఞానులు పరిశుద్దులు - ప్రస్తుతించిరి బాల యేసుని .. ఉదయ..

2. ఆకాశ తారల మెరుపు కాంతిలో - ప్రక్రుతి రాగాల స్వరాలతో 

హల్లెలూయ యని పాడుచు - దూత గణము స్తుతించిరి

జగ మొక ఊయలగా చేసి - దూతలు పాడిరి జోల పాట .. ఉదయ.

Hark! the herald angels sing
