The Officiant may then conclude with one of the following

[Alleluia] The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us: Come let us adore him. [Alleluia]

[Alleluia.]  The Lord is glorious in his saints: Come let us adore him. [Alleluia.]

Venite  Psalm 95:1&#8209;7

Come, let us sing to the Lord; *
 * let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *
 * and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God, *
 * and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *
 * and the heights of the hills are his also.

The sea is his, for he made it, *
 * and his hands have molded the dry land.

Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *
 * and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *
 * Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!

Jubilate  Psalm 100

Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *
 * serve the Lord with gladness
 * and come before his presence with a song.
