Father, all-powerful and ever-living God,
we do well always and everywhere to give You thanks
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Today You fill our hearts with joy
as we recognize in Christ the revelation of Your love.
No eye can see His glory as our God,
yet now He is seen as one like us.
Christ is Your Son before all ages, yet now He is born in time.
He has come to lift up all things to Himself,
to restore unity to creation,
and to lead us from exile into Your heavenly kingom.

With all the angels of heaven we sing our joyful hymn of 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.
