Epiphany doodle

epiphany
There was plenty of the large piece of black paper left over from yesterday’s quiet day, so I added this doodle to it. Epiphany is a good day to have spare black paper (and white, silver and gold pens that will write on it).

 

O Oriens & O Emmanuel

advent, Advent Illustrated, Other cool stuff

Better late than never, here are the last two O Antiphon doodles. Not the best of the series, especially as they seem to have come out a little dark (I may try again with the photography to improve that) but at least I did them!

O Oriens,
splendor lucis aeternae, et sol justitiae:
veni, et illumina sedentes in tenebris, et umbra mortis.
O Morning Star,
splendour of light eternal and sun of righteousness:
Come and enlighten those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.

 

O Emmanuel, Rex et legifer noster,
exspectatio Gentium, et Salvator earum:
veni ad salvandum nos, Domine, Deus noster.
O Emmanuel, our king and our lawgiver,
the hope of the nations and their Saviour:
Come and save us, O Lord our God.

New Advent Hymn

advent, hymns, Other cool stuff, worship

Just too late to be of any use, here’s a new Advent hymn, to the tune of Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence.

Longing for a hope-filled morning,
Kingdom of the Son, draw near!
Waiting for the day soon dawning,
Light of love that casts out fear.
Dayspring, come from heav’n, in lowly birth,
Come to warm this cold, dark earth.

Sorrow through the world is sweeping,
Bitter conflict rages still,
Heaven hears its children weeping:
cost of humankind’s freewill.
Come, O Price* of Peace, in lowly birth,
Come to mend this broken earth.

Pattern of the world’s salvation,
God and human side by side.
Colour, language, creed or nation,
No more should the world divide:
Come, Emmanuel, in lowly birth,
Show how heav’n embraces earth.

*This word started off as a typo, but I quite like it, as it echoes the ‘cost’ of the previous line…  If you use the hymn, you can choose whether to use Price or Prince 🙂  And thank you to the lovely Uptonpc for suggesting that Price could stay as an option!
