God of our hearts<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voice of my conscience<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highest and best self that I can conceive<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spirit of life, and love, and justice<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That flows through all creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be with us this evening as we worship<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And be with us tonight as we lay down to sleep<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fill our restful minds with dreams of peace<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dreams of joy. Dreams of brighter days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For ourselves. And for all others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give us dreams that show us the way<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that inspire our spirits<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And strengthen our bodies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And fix our wills as on a distant star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Show to us dreams of a new year<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where cruelty, falsehood, and selfishness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have been left behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dreams of a new world<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where love is the highest power<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bind us again to ancient dreams<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of peace on earth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goodwill to all<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Justice for the oppressed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A planet made whole and healthy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May our dreams begun this Christmas evening <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be with us through this long night<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And carry us to a Christmas morning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where our dreams become incarnate in our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
