Advent

Blessed is the man who does not walk within the wicked way; Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit where the scoffers stay.

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of earth together with rulers stand arraigned...

O Lord, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me! They say, “There is no help in God, There’s no deliv’rance for his plea.”

Lord, our Lord, majestic is Thy name throughout the whole wide earth; You display and set Your splendor o’er the heav’ns which show Your worth.

The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the skies are declaring the work of His hands. For day after day they speak, pouring forth knowledge, and night after night is displayed their expanse.

The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, The world and all those within its domains. He founded it on the great seas by His hand, Established it firm on the waters to stand.

All of my days I'll bless and praise the Lord; His praise will ever be within my mouth. Boast, O my soul, extol the living Lord; let all the humble hear it and be glad.

Hear this, all people, and give ear, all in the world that dwell; Both low and high, both rich and poor; My mouth shall wisdom tell

My soul in silence waits for God; salvation comes from Him; He only is my rock and tow’r; I shall not be shaken.

How lovely is Your dwelling place, Almighty God and Lord! For my soul yearns and even faints to be within Your courts!
