Lord, we are so often overwhelmed by
the busyness of this time of the year.
O come Emmanuel,
come into our hearts
and show us by your light

Bless the creators, O God of creation,
who by their gifts make the world
a more joyful and beautiful realm.

Awaken me, Lord
To your light,
Open my eyes
To your presence.

Deep peace, pure gold of the sun to you.
Deep peace, pure white of the moon to you.
Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you.
Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you.
