 Through Christ let us continually offer to God the sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his Name. But to do good and to distribute, forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Worthy art thou, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and by thy will  they were created and have their being.

Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty. For all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine. Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.

Let us with gladness present the offerings and oblations of our life and labor to the Lord.

Preface of the Lord’s Day

1. Of God the Father

Creator of the light and source of life, who hast made us in thine image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ our  Lord.
