To God be the Glory
To Jesus Christ be praise,
We bless you Holy Spirit
For another Christmas day.
Heavenly Father we thank You
For the gift of Jesus Christ,
We thank you for your love
And Christ’s atoning sacrifice.
We honour you on this day
As we think of that first Christmas
When the lowly shepherds then
Laid eyes of the Saviour, Jesus.
Give us an understanding heart
That we may apply your grace
And in your mercy Heavenly Father,
We shall see your face.
As the wise men of that time
Travelled from afar to see
May we draw the nearer to you
And grow more spiritually.
We thank you for our family
Both by blood and in the Spirit
May we show more love to them
As an all year round habit.
Help us to appreciate more
All the blessings that you give
And from your almighty power
Draw the strength we need to live.
We thank you for the ability
To lift our hands in praise
And also for the favour
You show in many ways.
This Christmas make us more aware
Of the reason for the season,
Make Christ our foremost thought
And for Christmas be the reason.
Amen
