16 Suite 1. Carols of Hope The Sussex Carol / Regent Square SATB or Two-part Mixed* STORYTELLER: During this holy season, we prepare our hearts and minds for the coming of the Christ Child by lighting candles nestled in wreaths of evergreens. The wreath is a circle that has no beginning and no end—like the eternal God! Its four colored candles signify the four weeks of Advent, and the white candle represents the Christ Child. Their light foretells the coming reign of Jesus, the Light of Hope. Arranged by Anna Laura Page and Jean Anne Shafferman As we prepare to celebrate His birth, the holly's prickly thorns and blood-red berries serve as symbols of His crown of thorns and prepare us for the crucified Christ—Jesus, the great Hope for our salvation!
