Prayers of hope 1
of 4 >
birth
For this journey
bringing hope from heaven
to a spoiled world
we give thanks.
Grant us a traveller's hope—
a place to stay
furnished enough
for love to be born and live.
For those we know
carrying a burden's weight
towards an unknown conclusion
we pray tonight
and for those we do not know
on journeys of despair,
homeless or losing hope,
we pray tonight.
Written
to follow the reading of Luke 2, 1-7 in a series
of visual Prayers of
hope in the carol service at
