Third Sunday of Advent, 2020

As a garden makes seeds grow up so will the Lord make both integrity and praise.
Spring up in the sight of the nations.
Our eyes look up, our hands we raise.
Giving gladly our oblations.

In the socially distanced Cathedral today, in praise of the one and only.
How sad to see people for the most part on their own.
So many people are lonely.
They need these services, it’s not enough to live stream phone.

But the nations remain blind from the start.
Intent on rules.
Driving people apart.
Making us into fools.

But if just two or three are gathered together.
From life’s cares we can for a moment cut the tether.
