Advent — First Sunday in Advent — The Night Is Far Spent
Based on Romans 13. 11, 12,* 1 Thessalonians 5:8O Lord, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that the night is far spent and the day is at hand: Awaken us from all sloth and slumber, that we may live as sons of light and of the day, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation; for his sake who died for us and rose again, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
