Blessing of an Advent Wreath 

Lord our God, we praise you 

for your Son, Jesus Christ: 

He is the Emmanuel, 

the hope of the peoples, 

He is the wisdom that teaches 

and guides us, 

He is the Saviour of every nation. 

Lord, let your blessing  come upon us 

as we light the 1st / 2nd / 3rd / 4th candle of this wreath. 

May the wreath and its light be a sign of Christ’s promise 

to bring us salvation; may he come quickly and not delay. 

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
