Songs for the Waiting: People Look East - 8:15 Traditional
People, look east. The time is near. We are one Sunday closer to Christmas and on this day we take a look at the hymn "People, look east" by Eleanor Farjeon (also known for writing "Morning Has Broken.)
This season of preparation comes at a time of the year when most of us are rushing to get to Christmas.
We rush to do the shopping, cooking, wrapping, visiting, and partying. But the time before Christmas, the season of Advent isn't about rushing. It's about waiting and watching for the coming of the Christ Child.
Utilizing hymns like "People, Look East" and powerful scripture lessons, we invite you to recover the sense of anticipation for the Advent season.
