Opening

Say this responsive prayer:

Dear Lord, we rejoice as we wait for the great festival of Christmas.

                 Come, Lord Jesus.

Help us to remember Your great purpose and Your promises in sending Jesus to save us from our sins.

                Come, Lord Jesus.

We thank you, Lord, for the many gifts that You give us.

                 Come, Lord Jesus.

Lord, help prepare our hearts and minds for Your arrival.

                 Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.



The Activity

Find or make some percussion instruments:  tambourine, bells, drum, two sticks together, a jar filled with beads or dry beans, etc. Sing along with the refrain (be ready, it is a fast song!):

The King of glory comes, the nation rejoices.

Open the gates before him, lift up your voices.



The Song

The music of “The King of Glory Comes” is from an Israeli folk tune. It is sung at Advent, as we think about the coming of our King. It is also sung on Palm Sunday, which is why the video shows pictures from this event in Jesus’ life.
