*'''Candle #1:'''  We light this candle as a sign of the coming light of Christ. Advent means coming.

*'''Candle #3:''' The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, the desert shall rejoice and blossom; like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice with joy and singing.
 
  
*'''Candle #4:'''  The Lord will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel (God is with us).
 
  
*'''Christmas Candle:'''  The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness, on them light has shined.
+
====The Lord's Prayer====
 +
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
  
*After all the candles are lit, the people respond: ''''Let us walk in the light of the Lord.''''
+
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
 +
 +
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
