God of love, in this eucharist we

27
and all the families of the
nations shall bow before
him.
For he has not despised nor
abhorred the suffering of the
poor;
neither has he hidden his face
from them; •
but when they cried to him he
heard them.
28
For the kingdom is the
Lord's •
and he rules over the nations.
29
From you comes my praise
in the great congregation; •
I will perform my vows
in the presence of those that
fear you.
How can those who sleep in
the earth
bow down in worship, •
or those who go down to the
dust kneel before him?
30
He has saved my life for
himself;
my descendants shall serve
him; •
this shall be told of the Lord
for generations to come.
The poor shall eat and be
satisfied; •
those who seek the Lord shall
praise him;
their hearts shall live for ever.
All the ends of the earth
shall remember and turn to
the Lord, •
ALL Glory to the Father and to
the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning is
now and shall be for ever.
Amen
