Opening liturgy
Emmanuel, God is with us!
The Lord is King! Let earth rejoice!
The God-given gift of Jesus, the gift of
love, joy, peace and hope
in a fragile babe, laid with care in a
manger of hay,
Nurtured and protected by Mary and
Joseph.
Emmanuel, God is with us!
The Lord is King! Let earth rejoice!
We do not walk the world alone, we tread
in the footsteps of others.
Others do not walk the world alone, they
tread in our footsteps.
Together and not alone we are God’s
people walking with God.
Emmanuel, God is with us!
The Lord is King! Let earth rejoice!
The world is not always an easy place in
which to live,
O God, it is rough and it is tough and it is
hard.
Let us handle with care and protection,
love, joy, peace and hope all who we
meet.
Emmanuel, God is with us!
The Lord is King! Let earth rejoice!
