December 5th Daily Hymn, Readings, Word, Psalm and Prayer

Hymn of the Day
Rejoice, rejoice, take heart in the night, though dark the winter and cheerless, the rising sun shall crown you with light, be strong and loving and fearless. Love be our song and love our prayer and love our endless story; may God fill every day we share and bring us at last into glory. ("Awake! Awake, and Greet the New Morn" - Text:Marty Haugen, b. 1950)

It's all about You, Lord.
Love, Grace and Faith; all Your gifts.
Love in the coming of Jesus into my world, and into my life.
Faith given through Your Spirit, into my heart.
Grace given through active Love of Christ on that cross, for all people.
Love, Grace and Faith; all Your gifts.

I prepare for Your coming.
I prepare for Your coming in Love.
I prepare for Your coming in Grace.
I prepare for Your coming in Faith.
I prepare and make the mountains low and the valleys high.
I prepare and listen to the crying voice of the wilderness, for Love, Grace and Faith.

Come Lord Jesus, in Love, Grace and Faith.
Come Lord Jesus, to gather Your elect.
Come Lord Jesus; end my selfishness and make new my life in You.
Come Lord Jesus, and make my pathway smooth.

Come Lord Jesus, come!
