V1: We light the Advent candles against the winter night to welcome our Lord Jesus, who is the world's true light; to welcome our Lord Jesus, who is the world's true light.
V2: The first one will remind us that Christ will soon return. We light it in the darkness to watch it gleam and burn; we light it in the darkness to watch it gleam and burn.
V3: We light the second candle and hear God's holy word. It tells us, cling to Jesus, prepare to meet your Lord; it tells us, cling to Jesus, prepare to meet your Lord.
V4: Three candles now are gleaming and show us the true way. Rejoice, the Baptist cries out; your Lord has come today; Rejoice, the Baptist cries out; your Lord has come today!
V5 (for next week): Four candles burning brightly announce that Christ has come. Prepare, my heart, believe it, and give the Christ child room; Prepare, my heart, believe it, and give the Christ child room!
