have seen a great light;

those who lived in a land of deep darkness—

on them light has shined.

-- Isaiah 9:2

The LORD is my light and my help;

whom shall I fear?

-- Psalm 27:1

Almighty God, we give Thee thanks for the mighty yearning of the human heart for the coming of a Saviour, and the constant promise of Thy Word that He was to come. We bless Thee for the tribute that we can pay to Him from our very sense of need and dependence, and that our own hearts can so answer from their wilderness, the cry, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord.” O God, prepare Thou the way in us now, and may we welcome anew Thy Holy Child. Amen.

-- Samuel Osgood
