God of gentleness and humility
Becoming human in simplicity
Bringing joy to the world.
In the birth of a child
We find meaning and dignity.
May we show the love and the humility of Jesus
That brings holy moments to wounded people
And joy and hope and laughter
To forgotten communities.
Teach us to be meek
Treating this beautiful world with gentleness,
Showing love to our neighbours,
And studying war no more.
So we bring a blessing of joy to others this Christmas
And throughout the year.
