Prayer for Wakefulness

Christ, our God, 

whom humble shepherds worshiped at a manger, 

you are holy and most high, merciful and mighty. 

Startle us to wakefulness, 

that we may rejoice in your new and glorious dawn, 

and, in your holy name, 

act to mend this suffering world. Amen. 





From Revised Common Lectionary, Year A, Christmas

  2. Lord, wake me up! Completely!!! Amen.

    Wake up, wake up, wake up
    Wake up all you sleepers
    Stand up, stand up
    Stand up all you dreamers
    Hands up, hands up
    Hands up all believers
    Take up your cross, carry it on
