Praise the Lord
with fear and thanksgiving
Honour the Christ
with humility and gratitude
Revere the Holy Spirit
with meekness and blessing
Acclaim the wonder of God
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
the Holy Trinity
the source of all being
the origin of all life
the fount of all love
Praise the Lord you people
in the assembly
where angels and archangels, saints and sinners
in heaven and earth
join in the endless song of worship of the one who is all on all
The One who is God Almighty
Praise the Lord
with singing, with laughter, with fellowship
Praise the Lord
with hearts, with souls, with minds
Praise the Lord
with sacrifice, with surrender, with penance
Fall before the Lord
and know of God’s promises
to you, your children and your children’s children
to all generations
for all creation
Fall down before the Lord
in awe at God’s mighty works
in wonder at the Almighty’s power
in amazement at the Saviour’s love
a love which goes through suffering and shame
to the cross
a love which calls us to take up the cross ourselves and follow
a love which casts out all fear and doubt and shame and guilt from each one of us
when we humbly confess our sin before the Lord
Lord God
we have sinned in word, thought and deed and we are truly sorry.
In humility, may we be set free to follow Christ Jesus
through the forgiveness he brings
That, being cleansed and renewed, our worship and service is true to the one who calls us
to take up our crosses and follow
Jesus Christ, our Lord
Amen
