Bulletin Note
Of unknown authorship, this hymn celebrates the renewal of Christ's incarnation through the church's annual observance, reflecting a sacramental understanding that grace works through time and repetition to transform us.
Preaching Connection
This hymn's central affirmation—that Christ comes to us continuously through liturgy and faith—powerfully answers the Gospel's promise that in Jesus, God's grace is not a once-for-all event locked in history, but a present, recurring gift that breaks through our resistance and indifference.
