(To the tune of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas)
Have yourself a hopeful little Advent
Allow your heart to ponder
Mary knows our troubles, she won’t let us wander
Have yourself a peaceful little Advent
Pray that the waiting be calm
Jesus knows our troubles, He will be a balm
Come again, as in early days
Baby Jesus enter our door
Emmanuel, you are dear to us
Please be near to us once more
One day soon we can celebrate Christmas
The manger will hold him
Until then, we'll have to wait and pray with Mary
So have yourself a joyful little Advent hymn
