Prayers

I came to You late, O Beauty so ancient and new.

Loving Savior, At whose birth, a star brightly shone, You are our light, our Savior made known.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary.

Lord Jesus, Who came into the world With every human need, A child, yet born a Savior, Please grant us Christmas joy and peace.

Shepherds kept watch On a most holy night.

Loving Lord Jesus, With the celebration of Christmas Now nearly at hand, May your abiding love be felt By people in every land.

Lord, to You I offer love, praise, and gratitude, For You have made me part of Your eternal plan.

Lord, my Savior, May the light of Your love shine Within my heart awaiting The celebration of Your birth And fill me with hope unfading.

God, our Father, Who promised descendants To number as stars in the sky, I join with the angelic choir Giving praise and glory on high.

Lord Jesus, The celebration of Your birth is near; Help me to draw nearer to You.
