Advent 2023: November 10 - Hymn

Friday, November 10th: Hymn and Reflect

Hymns are a great way to pray.  Our hymn for today is #351 Creator of the Stars of Night.  Read these verses as a prayer:

Creator of the Stars of Night,
Thy people’s everlasting Light,
O Christ, Redeemer, save us all
And hear Thy servants when they call.

Thou, grieving that the ancient curse
should doom to death a universe,
Hast found the healing, full of grace,
to cure and save our ruined race.

Thou cam’st the Bridegroom of the bride,
as drew the world to eventide,
the spotless Victim all divine
Proceeding from a Virgin shrine.

At whose dread name, majestic now,  
all knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
All things celestial Thee shall own,
and things terrestrial, Lord alone.

O Thou, whose coming is with dread
to judge the living and the dead,
preserve us from the ancient foe
while still we dwell on earth below.

To God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Praise, honor, might, and glory be
From age to age eternally.  Amen.

Reflect now on this hymn, especially over the passages that were read this week.  With Genesis 1, 3, 22, and Psalm 1 in mind, write down things that you have seen in the Scriptures and learned this week:
