THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

L : O God, come to my assistance.
A : O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Hymn:
O Christ, the light of heaven and the world’s true light,
You come in all your radiance to cleave the web of night.

May what is false within us before your truth give way,
That we may live untroubled with quiet hearts this day.

May steadfast faith sustain us, and hope made firm in you;
The love that we have wasted, o God of love, renew.

Blest Trinity we praise you, in whom our quest will cease;
Keep us with you for ever in happiness and peace.
