Second Sunday of Advent Prepare my people

Do not delay, come Lord, today: show us the way to the Father Do not delay, come Lord, today: show us the way to the Father.  Do not delay, come Lord, today: show us the way to you.   1.  We're waiting for you, we listen to your word.  We're waiting for you; we want to know what we have heard is true. 2.  Lord, when will you come?  We're looking for your star.  Lord, when will you come?  Will you be born so every far from here? 3.  O lead us to you; we're longing for your peace.  O lead us to you, to know you, Lord, and follow in you way.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA Do not delay, come Lord, today: show us the way to the Father.  Do not delay, come Lord, today: show us the way to you.
