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

He came to save us by becoming a man, Himself.
The Virgin Mary, receiving the angel's message in faith,
conceived by the power of the Spirit
and bore Your Son in purest love.
In Christ, the eternal truth,
Your promise to Israel came true.
In Christ, the hope of all peoples,
our hope was realized beyond all expectation.

Through Christ the angels of heaven offer their prayer of adoration
as they rejoice in Your presence for ever.
May our voices be one with theirs in their triumphant 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.
