A Christmas Time Prayer For Country Living Lyrics

Lord Jesus Christ, When,
On A Winter’s Night I Look
Up Through The Clear Air At
The Stars, I Can Be Very
Close To You And To Your
Native Bethlehem.

It Was At Night That You First
Came To This Earth.

It Was Under The Same Stars
That Now Gleam In This Night
Sky That Mary First Held You
In Her Arms.

It Was By The Faint Light Of
These Stars Still Shining
Tonight That The Shepherds
Found Their Way To The Stable,
And Discovered You, As The
Angels Had Said They Would,
Lying In A Manger.

Dear Christ,
It Is Especially At Christmas
Time That I See And Understand
How Close You Are To Those Who
Live On The Land.

We Have So Many Reminders
Of You! The Stars And Moon
At Night And The Sun By Day,
The Same Stars Under Which
You Were Born; The Same Moon
That Shone That Night On
Bethlehem; The Same Sun That
Brightened Your First Days
On Earth.

The Stable, And The Farm Animals
That Shared Their Quarters And
Their Warmth With You, Their Creator.

The Sheep And The Shepherds That
Came To Adore You, Rough Men, But
Good, Truthful, Honest, And Sincere.

O Jesus, Son Of The Everlasting God,
You Are So Wonderfully Made One Of
Us At Christmas Time! You Are Our God,
But You Are Our Brother, Too.

You Are Our King,
But You Come As A Helpless Little
Baby, Longing For Our Love.

Help Us Today And Always To See You
In All Those With Whom We Come In Contact.

Let Us Never Forget Your Own
Instruction, That Whatever We
Do For The Least Of Those Around Us,
We Do For You.

Help Us Always To Serve You In The
Generous, Selfless Spirit Of This
Season, And We Shall Then Be Real
Christians, More And More Like You,
Other Christs.

Amen.
