An Advent Prayer


For you, O God, my soul in stillness waits,
truly my hope is in you.

O Root of Life, implant your seed within us,
and in your advent, draw us all to you,
our hope reborn in dying and in rising.

O Key of Knowledge, guide us in our pilgrimage,
we ever seek, yet unfulfilled remain,
open to us the pathway of your peace.

– Adapted from Psalm 95
