The Olive Grove

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table. ~Psalm 128:3

Saturday 1 December 2007 - Advent

let all mortal flesh keep silence...

and with fear and trembling stand...

ponder nothing earthly minded...

Not all of these are strictly Advent Hymns (those are hard to find!)), but I am trying to find songs that are at least quiet and contemplative to help set the tone for this season.

(I made the banner here.)
