Canticle of the Holy Trinity, UMH Pg. 80, with response
Opening Prayer (Unison) – Almighty and everlasting God, in whom we live and move and have our being, You created us for Yourself, so that our hearts are restless until they find rest in You. Grant to us such piety of heart and strength of purpose that no selfish passion may hinder us from knowing Your will, and no weakness from doing it. In Your light may we see life clearly and in Your service find perfect freedom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
