All Glory Be

to God on High

Nicene Creed

We believe in one God,
           the Father, the Almighty,
           maker of heaven and earth,
           of all that is, seen and unseen.

Nicene Creed

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
           the only Son of God,
           eternally begotten of the Father,
           God from God, Light from Light,
           true God from true God,
           begotten, not made,       

Nicene Creed

 of one Being with the Father;
           through him all things were made.
           For us and for our salvation
                  he came down from heaven,
                       was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary
                       and became truly human.

Nicene Creed

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
     he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
     in accordance with the scriptures;
     he ascended into heaven
     and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

Nicene Creed

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

    who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
    who with the Father and the Son

          is worshiped and glorified,
    who has spoken through the prophets.

Nicene Creed

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,
       and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Eucharist

The Lord be with you. And also with you.

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

It is right to give our thanks and praise.

...we praise your name and join their unending hymn:

Holy, holy, holy Lord,

God of power and might,

heaven and earth are full of your praises.

Syria, 3rd century--oldest, extant sanctus in a Eucharistic prayer

...through him, with him, in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, almighty Creator, now and forever.

Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
        on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
    as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
    and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours,
    now and forever. Amen.
 

These are the gift of God for you--the people of God. Come, the banquet is ready.
