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!

“If only all had heard the good news”
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”
Luke 2:1-14
