Throughout Advent, I’ve led the liturgy in royal purple, which matches the royally-adorned table. We’ve been singing hymns to salute the King’s arrival. “Joy to the world, the Lord has come. Let earth receive her king.” “Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Behold, the king of glory waits!” “Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King.” “Come and behold Him, born the King of angels.”
