Advent devotional for November 29th

“The Dream of St. Joseph” by Rembrandt
1650-55, Oil on canvas, 105 x 83 cm
Advent Evening Hymn (8th Century)

Come, Sun and Savior, to embrace
Our gloomy world,its weary race,
As groom to bride, as bride to groom:
The wedding chamber, Mary's womb.
At your great Name, O Jesus, now
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
All things on earth with one accord,
Like those in heaven, shall call you Lord.
Come in your holy might, we pray,
Redeem us for eternal day;
Defend us while we dwell below,
From all assaults of our dread foe.
