The day of joy is coming Father in Heaven, and will crown another year
\nwith peace and good will.
\nHelp us rightly to remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the
\nsong of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the
\nwise men. Close the doors of hate and open the doors of love all over the
\nworld. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every
\ngreeting. Deliver us from evil, by the blessing that Christ brings, and teach
\nus to be merry with clean hearts.
\nMay this Christmas make us happy to be thy children, with grateful
\nthoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake.
\nAmen.<\/p>\n
