 IV   The People of God

O ye people of God, bless ye the Lord; *
 * O ye priests of the Lord, bless ye the Lord;

O ye servants of the Lord, bless ye the Lord; *
 * praise him and magnify him for ever.

O ye spirits and souls of the righteous, bless ye the Lord; *
 * O ye holy and humble men of heart, bless ye the Lord.

Let us bless the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; *
 * praise him and magnify him for ever.
