A Prayer at Christmastide

Blessed are you, O God, for you have visited and redeemed your people,

coming to us in Jesus, delivering us from all calamity, remembering your holy covenant,

the oath you swore to our ancestors in the faith.

You have come to set us free that we may serve you without fear all the days of our lives.

In Christ, you have given us knowledge of salvation and forgiveness of sin.

You have come to us to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

to guide our feet in the way of peace.

Therefore we praise you with psalms and hymns and carols

and with thankfulness in our hearts for your gift of yourself in Jesus.

Through your Spirit, may we put on compassion, kindness, humility,

and patience to understand and forgive one another.

Bind us together in the perfect harmony of love.

May the peace of Christ rule in our hearts that we may be instruments of your peace on earth.

We offer all words and deeds and prayers in Jesus’ name. Amen.
