Welcome once more, O High King, to the world.
Welcome to suffering and sorrow, to cold and poverty.
Welcome to exclusion and harrowing grief.
Welcome into the battle for the Kingdom.
Teach us the art of peaceful war.
Lord of all creation,
Teach us to be the deepest peace of all,
The peace you give us.
Teach us to live without fear,
Walking lightly upon the earth,
Teach us to give ourselves away
To all in need.
Teach us to laugh at ourselves and our foibles.
Teach us to dance with the joy we own
As children of the Light,
As your beloved daughters and sons.
Teach us to recognize you
In all our brothers and sisters.
Teach us to be tender and kind with one another
As you are with us.
Welcome to the world, dear Lord.
Live in us and love in us
Bring us to union with God
Help us change the world.
Amen.
