Lord, in this holy season of prayer, song and laughter,
\nwe praise you for the great wonders you have sent us:
\nfor shining star and angel’s song,
\nfor the infant’s cry in the lowly manger.
\nWe praise you for the Word made flesh in a little Child.
\nWe behold his glory, and are bathed in its radiance.
\nBe with us as we sing the ironies of Christmas,
\nthe incomprehensible comprehended,
\nthe poetry made hard fact,
\nthe helpless Babe who cracks the world asunder.
\nWe kneel before you shepherds, innkeepers, wise men.
\nHelp us to rise bigger than we are.
\nAmen<\/p>\n
