Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;
For Love is strong as Death.

Some ideas for how to use these verses during this fourth week of Advent:
~ have students write them in their Bible journals- this would also be great practice for looking up verses in the Bible.
~ use these as an opening prayer, or in between verses of O Come O Come Emmanuel for a mini prayer service.
~Ask students to say which is their favorite and why, or let them choose their own favorite verses about love.
