Advent 4 Based on Luke 1:47-55

Group 1: 

My spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant.

Group 2: 

Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

Group 1:

His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

Group 2: 

He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty.

All: 

He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.

-Unison Confession:

From the words of the prophet Isaiah, hear the word of the Lord:

Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.

Your sins are pardoned.

The penalty is paid.

Thanks be to God.

In Jesus Christ, you are forgiven and free!

Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: 

the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand. 

I will remember the deeds of the Lord; 

yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. 

I will consider all your works 

and meditate on all your mighty deeds.” 

Your ways, God, are holy. 

What god is as great as our God? 

You are the God who performs miracles; 

you display your power among the peoples. 

With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, 

the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.

-Psalm 77:10–15 (NIV)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  

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.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, 

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.  Amen.  

-Matthew 6:9-13

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

   creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, 

his only Son, our Lord,

 who was conceived by the Holy Spirit

 born of the virgin Mary.

 Suffered under Pontius Pilate,

 was crucified, dead, and buried;

 he descended into hell.

 The third day he rose again from the dead.

 He ascended to heaven

 and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.

 From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost,

 the holy catholic church,

 the communion of saints,

 the forgiveness of sins,

 the resurrection of the body,

 and the life everlasting. 

Amen
