Advent Group (UK)

From the throne of Grace, O God of mercy, at the hour your Son gave himself to death, hear the devout prayer of your people. As he is lifted high upon the cross, draw into his exalted life all who are reborn in the blood and water flowing from his opened side. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our passover and our peace, who lives with you now and always in the unity of the Holy Spirti, God for ever and ever.
