Advent prayer

Seed of the woman, son of Sarah, true Israel, we greet You at Your coming.

Branch of David, King greater than Solomon, we greet You at Your coming.

Immanuel, Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, we greet You at Your coming.

Anointed One, Son of God, Son of Man, Word made flesh, we greet You at Your coming.

Image of the Father, Radiance of eternal glory, God from God, Light from Light, we greet You at Your coming.

Alpha and Omega, Beginning beyond all beginnings and End that surpasses all ends, the One who is and who was and who is to come, we greet You at Your coming.

Jesus child of Mary, we greet You at Your coming.

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; break forth and sing for joy; sing praises. Let the sea roar and all it contains. Let the rivers clap their hands and the mountains sing before the Lord. For He comes; He comes; He comes to judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

Amen.
