Daily Advent poem 6

The Second Week in Advent, " In change unchanged".
 
A prayer for the week



Be present, O Merciful God, and protect us... so that we who are fatigued by the changes and chances of this fleeting world, may repose upon Thy eternal changlessness.


Saturday



O Lord, my heart is sick,

Sick of this everlasting Change;

And life runs tediously quick

Through its unresting race and varied range:

Change finds no likeness to itself in Thee,

And makes no echo in Thy mute eternity.

Faber
