Loving Father,
Help us remember
The birth of Jesus,
That we may share
In the song of angels,
The gladness of the shepherds,
And the worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate
And open the door of love
All over the world.
Let kindness come
With every gift
And good desires
With every greeting.
Deliver us from evil
By the blessing which Christ brings,
And teach us to be merry
With clean hearts.
May the Christmas morning
Make us happy to be Thy children,
And the Christmas evening
Bring us to our beds
With grateful thoughts
Forgiving and forgiven,
For Jesus sake,
Amen
