The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks & praise
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest.
Lord Jesus Christ, fed and renewed by your life in us - we go now to share that life with others. Send us forth equipped with the power of your Spirit to proclaim the good news of your love and compassion to all whom we meet. Amen
Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven, to earth come down, fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown
Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation, enter every trembling heart
Come, almighty to deliver, let us all thy life receive; suddenly return, and never, nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above, pray, and praise thee without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love.
Finish then thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be; let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee:
Changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.
