At the start of the holiday season
after fall, before winter
leading into Advent
comforting words, melodies
the warm, memory-laden
hymns in the sanctuary
familiar, affirming words in worship
singing old hymns of praise
harbingers of the Christmas carols
soon to rise from our lips
up to the vaulted ceiling heights
common, ages old words
the music of our faith
welling up, in unison, again
