Our Morning Offering – 11 December – Monday of the Second Week of Advent

Come, Sun and Saviour 8th Century Catholic Advent Prayer/Hymn

Come, Sun and Saviour, to embrace Our gloomy world, its weary race, As groom to bride, as bride to groom: The wedding chamber, Mary’s womb. At your great Name, O Jesus, now All knees must bend, all hearts must bow; All things on earth with one accord, Like those in heaven, shall call you Lord. Come in Your holy might, we pray, Redeem us for eternal day; Defend us while we dwell below, From all assaults of our dread foe.
