Advent 2023: December 8 - Hymn

Friday, December 8th: Hymn and Reflect

Hymns are a great way to pray.  Our hymn for today is # 350 Come, Thou Precious Ransom. Read these verses as a prayer:

Come, Thou precious Ransom come,
only hope for sinful mortals!
Come, O Savior of the world!
Open are to Thee all portals.
Come, Thy beauty let us see
Anxiously we wait for Thee.

Enter now my waiting heart,
Glorious King and Lord most holy.
Dwell in me and ne’er depart,
Though I am but poor lowly.  
Ah, what riches will be mine
when thou art my guest divine!

My hosannas and my palms
graciously receive I pray Thee;
evermore, as best I can,
Savior, I will homage pay Thee,
and in faith I will embrace,
Lord, Thy merit through Thy grace.

Hail! Hosanna David’s Son!  
Jesus hear our supplication!
Let Thy kingdom, scepter, crown,
Bring us blessing and salvation,
That forever we may sing:
Hail! Hosanna to our King.

As you reflect and give Hosanna to Jesus this week, where did you find him in Judges 13, 2 Samuel 7, Jonah 1-4, and Psalm 47?
