C S Lewis - 5

Please watch this short video clip first!



Yes, we are invited to open this door on the first floor of the new library - what will we find inside? Come back to this blog tomorrow, for I can promise you a wonderful surprise.



Advent is a time for us to open the door to Christ - a theme taken up in our hymn for today.

Hark! the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
the Saviour promised long:
let every heart prepare a throne,
and every voice a song.

He comes the prisoners to release
in Satan's bondage held;
the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.

He comes, the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure;
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.

Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
thy welcome shall proclaim;
and heaven's eternal arches ring
with thy beloved Name.
