A Prayer and a Poem on Christmas

From the BCP

Almighty God, you have given your only-begotten Son to take our nature upon him, and to be born this day of a pure virgin: Grant that we, who have been born again and made your children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by your Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with you and the same Spirit be honor and glory, now and forever. Amen.

"Second Advent" from WRLH

The hour is near, be not afraid
Though the final moment seems long delayed
Though tears and blood in oceans shed
Be not afraidThe one who in truth already dead
Is Satan, staggering still with heel crushed head
The world waits for this apocalypse, the new revelation
The second advent of the risen Son
When we with angels and demons both
Look back and proclaim that “God has won!”
