Come Thou Redeemer of the earth Lyrics

Come Thou Redeemer of the earth,
In Thy admired Virgin birth,
Let every age in wonder fall
Such birth befits the God of All
Begotten of no human will,
But of the Spirit, Thou art still
The Word of God and flesh arrayed,
The promised fruit to man displayed

The Virgin's womb that burden gained
Its virgin honor still unstained
The banners there of virtue glow
God in His temple dwells bellow
Proceeding from His chamber free
That royal home of purity
A giant in twofold substance one
Rejoicing now His course to run

O equal to Thy Father Thou!
Gird on Thy fleshy mantle now:
The weakness of our mortal state
With deathless might invigorate.
They cradle here will shine so bright,
Where endless love shall reign serene
And twilight newer intervene

Opening Prayer for Christmas Party

We are gathered [+ sign of the cross]  in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Almighty and Merciful God, creator of Heaven and Earth, we humbly ask your divine presence,
as we gathered here for our Christmas Party. Forgive us Father for our offenses and shortcomings, despite of our sins, bless us with your generosity and love so that everyone present here would be able to remember the birth of your Son Jesus Christ.

Thank you Father God for giving us this opportunity to celebrate life that you have given to us, allow us to share with one another your unfathomable Love. Bless our families, and friends so that as we enjoy this Christmas party, we would also realize that Christmas is not about expensive gifts and grand parties but it is about Love and generosity to everyone, especially to the needy.

Make us realize that in celebrating the birthday of your son, we should also spread the joy and love not only here in this party but also when we leave this venue. Impart your Divine Wisdom so we would be able to make every day a Christmas day from this day onwards.

Bless this Party so that everyone will have fun in a Christian atmosphere. We ask this through Jesus Christ your son  who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit one God forever and ever. Amen. 

God so loved the world Lyrics

God so loved
The world,
That he gave his only
Begotten son,
That whoso believeth
In him
Should not perish,
But have everlasting,
Everlasting life.
