Almighty God, You have made all things by Your mighty power;
You are King and Ruler of the world, gracious in truth and love, because -
Yours is the eternal kingdom and the power and the glory, now and forever.
You reveal and offer to us the glory of Your kingdom in the pure and faithful love of Jesus Christ, because -
Yours is the eternal kingdom and the power and the glory, now and forever.
You manifest Your kingdom before all people through the almighty and creative work of Your Holy Spirit in Your Holy Word and Sacraments, because -
Yours is the eternal kingdom and the power and the glory, now and forever.
Your merciful perfection is manifest to us beyond all that we can ever know, ask or imagine, because -
Yours is the eternal kingdom and the power and the glory, now and forever.
Let us bless the name of the Lord our God, because -
The depth and wonder of His mercies are ever vigilant in manifesting and increasing His Kingdom in its constant course to us now and at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For the perfection which You are and manifest to perfect us;
For all the glory and wonder that is You and You manifest to glorify us; and
For the working of Your kingdom in the means You have chosen to manifest Yourself and Your grace to save us:
Blessed be Your holy name, O Lord our God.
For the constancy and gladness of Your gift of life in all creation; and
For Your ordering all things for the protection of life here and in eternity:
Blessed be Your holy name, O Lord our God.
For Your creation of man in Your own image that You might reign within his heart; and
For Your creation of man in Your own image that You might manifest Your works of love through Him:
Blessed be Your holy name, O Lord our God.
For Your kingdom pushing back the darkness of death by sending the Light of the Life;
For Your kingdom pushing back the deceptions of sin by sending the Living Truth; and
For Your kingdom pushing back all the works and ways of Satan and our sin by sending the Way of our Salvation:
Blessed be Your holy name, O Lord our God.
For the holy epiphany of Yourself and Your kingdom through the incarnation of Your Son for us;
For the epiphany of Yourself and Your kingdom through the living, suffering, death and burial of Your Son for us; and
For the epiphany of Yourself and Your kingdom through resurrection of Your Son from the dead for us:
Blessed be Your holy name, O Lord our God.
For the work of Your kingdom manifested in the faith and faithfulness of Your saints;
For the work of Your kingdom manifested in the words and works of Your saints; and
For the work of Your kingdom put to pen and press by Your saints:
Blessed be Your holy name, O Lord our God.
That Your Kingdom is like unto Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. (Hb 13:8):
Blessed be Your holy name, O Lord our God. Amen.
