The Lord be with you etc
Father, it is right and good
to give you thanks and praise
through Jesus Christ, our living Lord.
From you comes life
and all that is good is your gift to us.
Through your powerful Word you made all things
and your arms of love sustain the universe.
[a minister Lord, for life, we praise you! ]
You made us to walk with you,
to love you and each other,
but then we turned away and chose the path of sin.
Reaching out with a father’s love
you sent your Son to call us back to you.
[a minister Lord, for your love, we praise you!]
He preached good news to the poor,
proclaimed release to the captives
and gave the blind their sight;
then stretching wide his arms upon the cross he died,
the perfect sacrifice for sin.
[a minister Lord, for your Son, we praise you! ]
But neither death nor grave could hold your Son
and, rising to new life,
he opened wide the gate of heaven to all who follow him.
Any proper preface is inserted here
And so we gladly thank you,
with saints and angels praising you, and saying:
Holy, holy, holy Lord...
The Lord be with you etc
Living God, Father of light,
Hope of nations, Friend of sinners,
Builder of the city that is to come;
your love is made visible in Jesus Christ,
you bring home the lost, restore the sinner
and give dignity to the despised.
In the face of Jesus Christ
your light shines out,
flooding lives with goodness and truth,
gathering into one a divided and broken humanity.
With people from every race and nation,
with the Church of all the ages,
with apostles, evangelists and martyrs
we join the angels of heaven
in their unending song:
Holy, holy, holy Lord...
The Lord be with you etc
Blessed are you, God of all glory,
through your Son Jesus Christ.
He is the heavenly King, born of Mary;
Jesus is the Son of God:
we worship and adore you.
He is the Word of the Father, crying as a baby,
Jesus is the Son of God:
we worship and adore you.
He is robed in glory, wrapped in infant clothes;
Jesus is the Son of God:
we worship and adore you.
Lord of heaven and earth, laid in a manger;
Jesus is the Son of God:
we worship and adore you.
Strong in weakness,
glorious in humility,
to him be all praise and glory.
We join with all the company of heaven, saying:
Holy, holy, holy Lord...
The Lord be with you etc
All glory and honour be yours always and everywhere,
mighty Creator, everliving God.
We give you thanks and praise for your Son,
our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who by the power of your Spirit was born of Mary
and lived as one of us.
By his death on the cross
and rising to new life,
he offered the one true sacrifice for sin
and obtained an eternal deliverance for his people.
And now we watch for that day when he shall come again
in power and great triumph to judge the world,
that we, without shame or fear,
may rejoice to behold his appearing
and with confidence stand before him
who redeems us from sin and death
and makes us heirs of everlasting life.
Therefore we join our voices with angels and archangels
and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn:
Holy, holy, holy Lord...
