Streams of the River: Eucharistic Devotions

The 2002 Christmas Crib at All Saints' Wickham Terrace, Brisbane,

with the High Altar and Tabernacle in the background

Before thine altar, O most Holy Child,

we kneel today.

So long ago the shepherds knelt before thy cradle.

And, even as they,

beholding their God

in the face of a little Child,

fell down and worshipped;

so we,

beholding thy sacred Presence

beneath the sacramental veil,

praise and adore our Lord and our God.

We give thee thanks

for thy great mercy.

O Holy Child,

we give thee thanks

for thy great humility.

For in the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God.

Hosanna in the highest!

And the Word was made flesh,

and dwelt among us;

And we have beheld his glory.

Word made Flesh

pray for us.

Emmanuel, God with us,

pray for us.

Wonderful Counsellor, the Mighty God

Grant us thy peace.
