Call to Worship
(inspired by Isaiah 9)
The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light.
Those who lived in a land of deep
darkness –
on them light has shined.
We long for a light to guide us.
You have multiplied the nation,
you have increased its joy.
We long for God's joy in our lives.
For the yoke of their burden,
and the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressor,
you have broken as on the day of
Midian.
We long to be relieved of all that we carry.
For a child has been born for us,
a son given to us;
he is named Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of
Peace.
He is named Emmanuel:
God with us.
In this tiny baby, this vulnerable child,
we find our light, our joy, our comfort.
Joy to the World! The Lord is come!
