Father of all, we give you thanks and praise
that when we were still afar off
you met us in your Son, and brought us home.
Dying and living, he declared your live,
gave us grace, and opened the gate of glory.
May we who share Christ’s body live his risen life;
we who drink his cup bring life to others;
we whom the Spirit lights, give light to the world.
Keep us firm in the hope you have set before us,
so we and all your children shall be free.
and the whole earth live to praise your name;
through Christ our Lord.
Amen
- Eucharistic Liturgy of the Scottish Episcopal Church
