Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God –
Shine Your light upon us and increase our joy.
Break our burdens’ yokes, our shoulders’ bars, and our oppressors’ rods. Burn warriors’ tramping boots and bloody garments.
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace –
All authority rests upon You…upon a child born for us.
May Your authority continually grow and imbue Your kingdom with endless peace. May Your reign continually be established and upheld with justice and righteousness.
Believing that Your zeal will do this, we trust and we pray. We pray, so we believe.
Amen.
(The Nativity of the Lord is December 25.)
