Using texts from Handel's Messiah in an Advent communion service
The Opening
The Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight; behold, he is coming, rejoice greatly, shout in triumph.
Our king is coming. He is the righteous Savior, He shall speak peace unto the nations.
(Malachi 3:1; Zech. 9:9-10)
