Sermon for the Fourth Sunday in Advent – December 21, 2025
YouTube live-stream
If you’re looking for the sermon, it begins at approximately 18:38.
Hymns for this Sunday- hymn numbers are from the 1940 Hymnal:
Nota Bene: In lieu of the Gradual and Alleluia being chanted by our cantor, we will be singing a Gradual Hymn, bracketing the reading of the Gospel: the first two verses will be sung before the Gospel is read, and the second two after.
During Advent, we will use the classic hymn “O come, O come, Emmanuel” – based on the ancient “Great O” Advent antiphons, each citing a Christological title or role of the Messiah, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, from the Prophets – as our Gradual hymn, bracketing the Gospel reading with two verses from that hymn: one before, and one after.
Today, on this Fourth and Last Sunday of Advent – the Sunday next before Christmas Day itself – we will sing the 7th verse before, and repeat the 1st after, the Gospel.
