a prayer at Christmas<br />

How ancient and lovely this news of a star,<br />

A baby, a mother, the kings from afar.<br />

Come close now, Lord Jesus, we ask you to stay<br />

And show us your face in your people today.<br />

What star shall we follow but one that leads here<br />

To a baby born homeless and a family in fear?<br />

What heav’n shall we long for but one that starts<br />

there<br />

For all the world’s children in your tender care?<br />

We thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming to earth;<br />

For the lights in the darkness that shone at your birth,<br />

For life in its fullness that you promise today,<br />

And the hope in a baby asleep on the hay.<br />

Rebecca Dudley<br />

Thank you for your continuing prayerful support<br />
