PRAYER
All thanks to him who saved our race
from slavery to sin and death!
He reconciled us with the hosts
above, who scorned us for our sin.
Blessed is he who had mercy,
who sought and found us, and rejoiced.
He symbolised our straying and
returning in his parable:
He named our race the heir and son,
who strayed returned, who died and rose.
He gladdened all the hosts above
through our return and our rising.
The great love which the lover of
our race showed cannot be described.
For from our race, he took on flesh
and reconciled us to himself.
It is a thing too great for us,
it is a new thing he has done.
He has made his temple our flesh,
in which he is worshipped be all.
O come, earthly and heavenly,
and marvel at our lofty place.
Our race has reached the greatest height
of infinite Divinity!
Heaven and earth and all therein
give thanks to him who renewed us,
For he has wiped our sins away,
named us his Name, and has crowned us.
Worthy is he of praise and thanks
from every mouth, who raised us up.
Let us proclaim our praise to him,
forever and ever, Amen.
