and the blessing of God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit be with you wherever you may go.
Blessed are you, Sovereign God, ruler and judge of all,
to you be praise and glory for ever!
In the darkness of this age that is passing away,
may the glory of your kingdom which the saints enjoy
surround our steps as we journey on.
May we reflect the light of your glory this day
and so make us ready to come into your presence,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
Blessed be God for ever!

as we offer you our sacrifice of thanks and praise,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
Blessed be God for ever!
Blessed are you, Sovereign God, our light and our life;
to you be glory and praise for ever!
When we turned away to darkness and chaos,
like a mother you would not forsake us.

and rejoiced to bring forth a new people.

and daily your Spirit renews the face of the earth,
inclining our wills to the gentle rule of your love,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
Blessed be God for ever!

Strengthen us in our stumbling weakness
and free our tongues to sing your praise,

Blessed are you, Sovereign God, our light and our salvation,
to you be glory and praise for ever!
In the beginning you laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.

He is our Christ, the light of the world,
and him we acclaim, as all creation sings to you,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
Blessed be God for ever!

From the darkness of death you have raised your Christ
to the right hand of your majesty on high.

has opened for us the way to heaven
and sends on us the promised Spirit.
May we be ready to follow the Way
and so be brought to the glory of his presence
where songs of triumph for ever sound:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
Blessed be God for ever!
Blessed are you, Sovereign God,
Shepherd of your pilgrim people:
their pillar of cloud by day,
their pillar of fire by night.

our light and our salvation;
to you be glory and praise for ever!

by a pillar of cloud by day
and a pillar of fire by night.

as he banishes all darkness from our hearts and minds,
and praise you,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit:

and our lips never cease to proclaim your praise,

to you be glory and praise for ever!
In your tender compassion,
the dawn from on high is breaking upon us
to dispel the lingering shadows of night.

to you be praise and glory for ever.
As your Spirit moved over the face of the waters
bringing light and life to your creation,
pour out your Spirit on us today
that we may walk as children of light
and by your grace reveal your presence.
Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
Blessed be God for ever!
