Rejoice for this gift,  this birth

we celebrate each year.

When the Lord took on flesh

to show all flesh

how to live

by the Spirit.

 

Sons and daughters,

weep and rejoice,

for the Lord took on flesh

to satisfy justice

upon all flesh,

so that we could draw near.

 

Let every voice cry out,

rejoice and shout!

The Lord took on flesh

and defeated death

to show  us

the way and the truth and the life.

 

The gift is for all who believe.

 

Great God, I tremble at your mercy.

 

Thanks, O Lord.

May Your perfect will  be

for all who read or hear these words to

accept

and receive.
