An Advent Prayer

Advent 1

Rise in our hearts,
Sun of Righteousness,
and enlighten us with the brightness of your coming,
that we who rejoice in the word of your promise,
may not be ashamed when you come again in glory;
through the mercy of our God,
who is blessed,
and lives and rules all things.
Amen.
