A Christmas Prayer

Christ, heralded by the angels,

open our eyes to your presence.

O Lord, hear us. Graciously hear us.


Christ, born of the blessed Virgin,

teach us obedience to your word.

O lord, hear us. Graciously hear us.


Christ, born in a stable,

give hope to the homeless.

O Lord, hear us. Graciously hear us.


Christ, visited by the shepherds,

strengthen all who work on the land

O Lord, hear us. Graciously hear us.


Christ, visited by the shepherds,

strengthen all who work on the land.

O Lord, hear us. Graciously hear us.


Christ, adored by the wise men,

guide all rulers and governments.

O Lord, hear us. Graciously hear us.


Christ, exiled in Egypt,

give comfort to all refugees.

O Lord, hear us. Graciously hear us.


Christ, Immanuel in our world,

open our eyes to your presence

O Lord, hear us. Graciously hear us.
