Heavenly Father, we thank You for the holy gift You gave us when You stooped down to our world to place in the arms of a mother the gift of Your Son. We confess that by our sin we insult His innocence. By our unbelief we mock His trust of Your Word. By our selfishness we make light of His sacrifice. Forgive us, and renew in us trust in Your love and grace through Your most holy Son.
Hallow this night, Lord, that it may be Your holy night for us. Help us hear Your angel speak through Your Word, that we may no longer live in fear. Lead us to listen to the Gospel, Your Good News, that we may know Your Son born to us: the Savior, Christ the Lord. Open our hearts to hear the mighty choirs sing all Your promises, that we may see Your glory in the highest in Christ's humble birth, and Your peace for us and for all men in His lowly coming. Let Him who once was born be born anew in us this night. Amen.
