Verbatim source text

Reproduced from calendar/2025-12-07.qmd (Whisk(e)y Advent 2025).

Into our troubles and weaknesses,
Into the barren places of our souls, Come Lord,
Come down, come in, come among us and make us whole.

Into the war torn and the refugee,
Into those who live in conflict, Come Lord,
Come down, come in, come among us and make us whole.

Into the homeless and the unemployed,
Into those who feel abandoned, Come Lord,
Come down, come in, come among us and make us whole.

Into the sick, the poor, and the starving,
Into those who are oppressed and abused, Come Lord,
Come down, come in, come among us and make us whole.

Into the lives of loved ones,
Into those from whom we are estranged, Come Lord,
Come down, come in, come among us and make us whole.

Into our songs of celebration,
Into the pain of Advent joy, Come Lord,
Come down, come in, come among us and make us whole.
