God bless us every one, with the blessing of Jesus.

By remembering our kinship with all men,
By well-wishing, friendly speaking and kindly doing,
By cheering the downcast and adding sunshine to daylight,
By welcoming strangers (poor shepherds or wise men),
By keeping the music of the angels' song in this home,
God help us every one to share the blessing of Jesus:
In whose name we keep Christmas:
And in whose words we pray together:

_Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name._
_Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven._
_Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we
forgive our debtors._
_And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:_
_For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen._




A CHRISTMAS PRAYER FOR LONELY FOLKS


Lord God of the solitary,
Look upon me in my loneliness.
Since I may not keep this Christmas in the home,
Send it into my heart.
