 CHRISTMAS PRAYER
by Robert Louis
Stevenson
Loving Father,
help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in
the song of the angels, the gladness
of the shepherds, and
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 clear hearts.
May the Christmas
morning make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas
evening bring us to our beds with grateful
thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen.
