Advent Calendar 1.4
Week One: Hope: Day Four
We are reminded of the sacrifice of Jesus in being our Hope.
Philippians 2:6-8
Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
(You can hear the following hymn here.)
Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem’s home was there found no room
For Thy holy nativity.O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.Heaven’s arches rang when the angels sang,
Proclaiming Thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,
And in great humility.O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word,
That should set Thy people free;
But with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary.O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.When the heav’ns shall ring, and her choirs shall sing,
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me home, saying “Yet there is room,
There is room at My side for thee.”My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest and callest for me.
