To Our Winters

From the Boundless Life collection

To our winters Jesus brings
Light and warmth and dancing,
Melting frozen lives and hearts,
Freeing and enhancing.
Christ proclaims each person’s worth *
Spreading hope throughout the Earth.
Praise the Christmas Child,**
Praise the Word made flesh,
Praise Christ,
Praise God in Winter,
Winter and forever!

 

Sound the trumpet, sing for joy,
God’s new world is dawning,
Bringing justice all can share,
Ending bitter mourning.
To the blind who cannot see
God in friend and enemy,
Christ brings light and truth,
God brings light and truth,
Brings light,
Brings light to people,
Light within their darkness.

 

Hidden in the darkest night
Dwell the joys of Easter.
From the grave there springs new life
Rising from disaster.
Free us God to serve the world,
Let your love in us unfold.
Serve the Christmas Child,**
Serve the broken world,
Serve Christ,
Serve God in Winter,
Winter and forever!

 

* Luke 4:18-19
** For use in the Southern Hemisphere replace “Christmas Child” with “Gospel Child”.
Note: The second half of each verse can be sung antiphonally with the exception of the last verse which should be sung together
