Traces of Glory
The First Sunday of Christmas Year B

Isaiah 61.10--62.3
Ps. 148. [1-6] 7-14
Galatians 4. 4-7
Luke 2. 15-21

Lord, give joy to the world:
joy in our hearts, joy in our homes.
Let the joy of God be known among us.
For your love revealed in your manger birth, we join with the shepherds to glorify and praise you;
through him who came to live among us, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever. Amen.

Lord, we greatly rejoice in your presence among us. We come to bow with the shepherds,
to kneel with the wise men, to adore with Joseph, to hold you in our hearts with Mary...
