Week 1 – 1st Sunday of Advent – Waiting in Faith (Daniel 3)
Daniel 3:57, 75-76, NRSV-Catholic Edition
57 “Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord;
sing praise to him and highly exalt him forever.
75 Bless the Lord, mountains and hills;
sing praise to him and highly exalt him forever.
76 Bless the Lord, all that grows in the ground;
sing praise to him and highly exalt him forever.
