Up to Restoration

The call of Advent is upward. It’s the call to move toward God. We sing an Advent song of ascent as we climb up to worship in that new reality, that new way of being in the world. It is not that this is a human-made reality, but that we are longing for this completion. We are looking forward. Listed below are some hymn and anthem suggestions to go with this Advent Worship Series.
