Christ comes to us a blessed babe
God’s love entrusts our souls be saved
In fullest light his power reveled
For all time, a covenant sealed.
 
Visitation beyond all norms
Grace within pure womb is formed
Transforming all with humbleness
by Him all forever blessed
 
We come like Christ, in mission blessed
His love revealed, in us confessed
Stir up our will, patience betrothed
To serve all here within God’s home
 
In spirit of our ministry
Charge us to do in unity
With earnest prayer, bless now our work
That we with care complete your love
 
Make me your child forever freeded
Cared by your trials for  humanity-
Great form and function , your life to live,
An everlasting peace to give

O Grant that we, may always see
Spirit formed ecology
Fire, water, air,  earth testify 
To divine birth beyond all time

Transform us through nativity
Revealed in flesh, divinity 
Forge &#124;blessed&#124; salvation  grace inclined
A baby’s cry , says “you are mine”!
