Worship songs for Advent
18 songs churches sing for Advent, ranked by how many churches sing them.
Plan a set around Advent →Advent is the four weeks before Christmas, a season built on waiting rather than arriving. A worship leader needs songs that hold that tension well, music that leans into longing without skipping ahead to the manger, keeping a congregation in the discomfort and hope of not yet.
The data backs that up. He Who Is To Come and Even So Come, both from Passion, top the list because they sit inside the waiting instead of resolving it too soon. Der König Kommt (Hosianna) from DMMK carries the same anticipation into German speaking churches, and O Come, All You Unfaithful widens the invitation to anyone still finding their way.
