Advent is a time of waiting and preparation for the coming of the Saviour, and during this time we are invited to pause, observe and prepare our hearts for the great event of Christmas with hope and faith.

To help create an atmosphere of waiting and preparation, we offer you a selection of songs and hymns that can accompany your moments of prayer, personal reflection or, more simply, moments of your daily life. We hope that this will help us prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, whose coming fulfils God’s promises of joy and peace.
