A Prayer in Advent: for Musicians and Artists

This Advent, join me in praying for The Church and for the people who are the churches. These prayers come from the Book of Common Prayer: Daily Prayer, published by our Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) sisters and brothers. It’s been on my shelf, recently re-discovered, and offers a wealth of riches. For example —

God of majesty,

whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven:

Be with your servants who make art and music for your people,

that with joy we on earth may glimpse your beauty,

and bring us to the fulfillment of that hope of perfection

which will be ours as we stand before your unveiled glory.

We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
