1 God of Justice everflowing,
Righteousness beyond Degree.
Breath of Mercy ever blowing
through our world to set us free -
you have lifted up the humble
and the thrones of power cast down.
Caused the proud of heart to stumble.
Sent a child to wear a crown.
2 Coming as a tiny baby,
giving up your power and might;
so in tenderness we may be
moved to justice, love and light -
help us see in every child
that the Christ Child dwells within. Calls us to be reconciled, leads to justice, frees from sin.
3 Some may celebrate with presents,
some may greet the day through tears,
still in all, your Holy Presence
gladdens hearts, casts out our fears.
Teach us how to live more simply,
that we all may simply live,
caring for the poor and lonely,
in Christ's name our live to give.
