Let the sea resound, for God’s glory
let the whales sing, praises to the Lord
let rivers clap their hands
let mountains offer their worship
let everything
everything on heaven and on earth
join in bringing praises
adoration
honour
glory to the Lord God
Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit
and to God be praise and glory forever and ever,
world without end
for God has done marvellous things
revealing righteousness to the nations
disclosing salvation through God’s holy arm
salvation which we know through Christ Jesus
our redeemer
our redeemer, who we know lives
lives and reigns on the right hand of God the Father
and we will see face-to-face
how our hearts yearn within us
yearn for God
yearn to see Christ face-to-face
yearn to know the glory of the Lord
and bring our feeble, humble human praises
to the throne of grace
to call on the Lord
and know we are the apple of God’s eye
may we seek shelter under God’s wings
and turn from all which is evil
in our our thoughts, words and actions
which we in our shame confess before the Lord
[pause]
As you love God
and long to love God more
know God watches over you
in that love, in that patient watching
God the Father, through God the Son
offers forgiveness
receive that forgiveness
and be filled with the Love of God
revealed through Christ Jesus
Amen
