Invocation: Our Prayer of Acclamation Grant, O God, of your mercy, that we may come to everlasting life, and there beholding thy glory as it is, may equally say:

Glory to the Father who created us, Glory to the Son who redeemed us, Glory to the Holy Spirit who sanctified us.

Glory to the most high and undivided Trinity, whose works are inseparable, whose kingdomwithout end abides, from age to age forever. Amen. ~ Augustine, in James Ferguson and Charles L. Wallis, eds. Prayers for Public Worship: A Service Book of Morning and Evening Prayers Following the Course of the Christian Year . NewYork: Harper & Brothers, 1958. p. 203. Call toWorship Blessed are you, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And blessed is your Kingdom, both now and forever, amen. Praising Our God Te Deum Laudamus You are God: we praise you; you are the Lord; we acclaim you; you are the eternal Father: All creation worships you. To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. The glorious company of apostles praise you. The noble fellowship of prophets praise you. The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you; Father, of majesty unbounded, your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.
