"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross"
Colossians 1: 15-20
O Bright Morning Star, shine in our hearts this Christmas.
Awake our souls and break our chains, that we may fly to you.
O Age Old Gift sent down to earth, wrap us in your wings.
Gather up your scattered children, in comfort and in peace.
O Image of the Invisible God, firstborn from the dead,
Reconcile our hearts to you, and let us love you still.
