O Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Blessèd are you, Lord our God,
redeemer and ruler of all;
to you be glory and praise for ever!
From the waters of chaos you drew forth the world,
and in your great love, fashioned us in your image.
Now, through the deep waters of death
you have brought your people to new birth
by raising your Son to life in triumph.
May we, the firstfruits of your new creation,
rejoice in this new day you have made;
may Christ your light ever dawn in our hearts
as we offer you our sacrifice of thanks and praise,
Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of Life:
Blessèd be God for ever!
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - From the ends of the earth
8But as for you, O Israel, you are mine, my chosen ones; for you are Abraham’s family, and he was my friend. 9I have called you back from the ends of the earth and said that you must serve but me alone, for I have chosen you and will not throw you away. 10Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.a
. . . . . . . .Isaiah 41:8-10- Or “with the right hand of my righteousness.”
