Father, all-powerful and ever-living God,
we do well always and everywhere to give You thanks.

You celebrated Your new gift of baptism by signs and wonders at the Jordan.
Your voice was heard from heaven to awaken faith
in the presence among us of the Word made flesh.
Your Spirit was seen as a dove,
revealing Jesus as Your servant,
and anointing Him with joy as the Christ,
sent to bring to the poor the good news of salvation.

In our unending joy we echo on earth the song of the angels in heaven
as they praise Your glory for ever:

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.
