Taize Christmas

O Christ, the prophets foretold your coming, the poor longed to see you.
—Our heart finds joy in God.

The heavens celebrated your birth; the apostles, the martyrs and the faithful down through the ages repeated the song of the angels.
—Our heart finds joy in God.

Your Church praises you in every human language, for she has seen your salvation.
—Our heart finds joy in God.

Son of God, you humbled yourself and became a servant, raising us up to share in your glory.
—Our heart finds joy in God.

We were in darkness and you have given us light and strength, peace and joy.
—Our heart finds joy in God.

Lead us according to your loving will; make us a people who follow you in holiness.
—Our heart finds joy in God.

Give us generous hearts to hear your Word and produce in us abundant fruit.
—Our heart finds joy in God.
