If only all had heard the good news – v2


Speaking as one, the prayer dedicating
turning back a portion, just a part
of what God has given us
If only all had heard the Good News
as our murmured prayer intoned
if the joy of Christ were truly known
and understood, around the world
this is my prayer this day
that the words would be true
that the telling, the waiting
the coming of the Christ-child
would be a retelling, not a revelation
alive, as in the first telling
in the hearts of the whole world
Until that day, we join the heavenly chorus
Christ has come to save!

Prayer of Dedication,
by Reverend Huntley Halvorson,
“Loving God, we eagerly anticipate the joy-filled
celebration of Jesus’ birthday party. We hear again the
news of peace on earth and good will to all. So we offer
these gifts to you; so that the good news of Christ’s birth
will once more be heard by all, and that we will come
closer to that day of peace. In the name of Christ at whose
birth all heave sang we pray. Amen”
