Minister: Lift up your hearts!
Congregation: We lift them up to the Lord!
The Lord reigns!
His cloak and clothing are majesty.
The Lord is clothed with strength,
He has tied His strength on as a belt.
The world is founded,
And cannot be moved.
Your throne, Oh, God, is established of old,
You are from everlasting.
The floods rise, Oh Lord, the floods clamor and shout,
The floods lift up their waves.
The Lord on high is greater than many waters,
His voice more powerful than the great waves of the sea.
Your testimonies, Lord, are certain and sure,
And holiness befits Your house,
Oh, Lord, for ever and ever, world without end.
And so, gracious Father, we worship You now through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end, amen.
