Father we praise you today.
Open our eyes Lord to your Protection of us.
Help us see your Truth and Beauty.
Send us out today in the Power of your Spirit and in the strength of your Word so that others may see Jesus in our lives and through our words and deeds.
Help us to have courage. You are with us.
Most of all Lord, help us to see Jesus.
Help us to see the Wonder of your Love, our Saviour, Christ the LORD.
We would see Jesus; lo! His star is shining
Above the stable while the angels sing;
There in a manger on the hay reclining;
Haste, let us lay our gifts before the King.
We would see Jesus, Mary’s Son most holy,
Light of the village life from day to day;
Shining revealed through every task most lowly,
The Christ of God, the life, the truth, the way.
We would see Jesus, on the mountain teaching,
With all the listening people gathered round;
While birds and flowers and sky above are preaching
The blessedness which simple trust has found.
We would see Jesus, in His work of healing,
At eventide before the sun was set;
Divine and human, in His deep revealing
Of God made flesh, in loving service met.
We would see Jesus, in the early morning,
Still as of old He calleth, “Follow Me!”
Let us arise, all meaner service scorning;
Lord, we are Thine, we give ourselves to Thee.
