Advent song - Misplaced Pages

(Redirected from Advent hymn)

Advent songs (German: Adventslieder) are songs and hymns intended for Advent, the four weeks of preparation for Christmas. Topics of the time of expectation are the hope for a Messiah, prophecies, and the symbolism of light, among others. Several of the songs are part of hymnals such as the German Catholic Gotteslob (GL) and the Protestant Evangelisches Gesangbuch (EG).

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness.

Advent är mörker och kyla
Adventstid
Det är advent
Die Nacht ist vorgedrungen [de]
In das Warten dieser Welt
Kündet allen in der Not
Long Ago, Prophets Knew
Singet fröhlich im Advent
Und unser lieben Frauen
Up, Awake, and Away! (Traditional Galician carol arranged by Philip Ledger)
Vi tänder ett ljus i advent
Wir sagen euch an den lieben Advent
