We give thanks and praise for the success of the conference, which was almost more than we had dared hope.
We praise Thee, O God;
We acknowledge Thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship Thee,
The Father everlasting.
To Thee all Angels cry aloud,
The heavens and all the powers therein.
To Thee Cherubim and Seraphim
Proclaim with unceasing voice:
“Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full
of the majesty of Thy glory.”
The glorious chorus of Apostles,
The admirable company of Prophets,
The army of Martyrs clothed in white,
The holy Church throughout all the world,
Doth acknowledge Thee,
The Father of infinite majesty,
Thine honourable, true, and only Son,
And also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.
Thou art the King of glory, O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.
Thou, in undertaking the freeing of man,
Didst not abhor the Virgin’s womb.
Thou, having overcome the sting of death,
Didst open to believers the kingdom of heaven.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God
In the glory of the God the Father.
We believe that Thou shalt come to be our Judge.
We beseech Thee, therefore, to help Thy servants,
Whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with Thy Saints In eternal glory.
O Lord, save Thy people,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Rule over them, and lift them up for ever.
Day by day we bless Thee
And we worship Thy Name
On earth and in heaven.
Find it fitting, O Lord,
to guard us without sin on that day.
O Lord, have mercy upon us,
have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let Thy mercy be upon us
Who have hoped in thee.
O Lord, in Thee have I hoped;
May I never be confounded.
