Revelation 4:11, 5:9-10a

 

¹              You are worthy, O Lord our God, *
                                to receive glory and honor and power,

²              For you have created all things, *
                                and they exist because you fashioned what you pleased. 

³              And you are worthy, O Lamb who was slain, *
                                for with your blood you have redeemed for God,

⁴              From every family, language, people, and nation, *
                                a kingdom of priests to serve our God.                     

                Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
                                as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
