Morning Prayer - The First Sunday After Christmas Day • Opening Sentence Behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10, 11 • The First Sunday After Christmas Day Almighty God, you have poured upon us the new light of your incarnate Word: Grant that this light, enkindled in our hearts, may shine forth in our lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. • A Collect for Sundays O God, you make us glad with the weekly remembrance of the glorious resurrection of you Son our Lord: Give us this day such blessing through our worship of you, that the week to come may be spent in your favor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. • For the Church Gracious Father, we pray for your holy Catholic Church. Fill it with all truth, in all truth with all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in any thing it is amiss, reform it. Where it is right, strengthen it; where it is in want, provide for it; where it is divided, reunite it; for the sake of Jesus Christ your Son our Savior. Amen. • For Mission Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. • Carol The Snow Lay on the Ground, arr. George Atwell The snow lay on the ground The stars shone bright When Christ our Lord was born On Christmas night. Venite adoremus Dominum Venite adoremus Dominum. Chorus: Venite adoremus Dominum Venite adoremus Dominum Venite adoremus Dominum Venite adoremus Dominum Twas Mary, daughter pure Of holy Anne That brought into this world The God made man She laid Him in a stall At Bethlehem The ass and oxen shared The roof with them. Chorus Saint Joseph, too, was by To tend the Child To guard him, and protect His mother mild The angels hovered round And sung this song Venite adoremus Dominum. Chorus And thus that manger poor Became a throne For He Whom Mary bore Was God the Son O come, then, let us join The heavnly host To praise the Father, Son And Holy Ghost.
