R. Blessed are you, Lord, God, the Father of creation.
Blessed are you, Lord, glory be to your name.
Blessed are you, Lord, source of life and love eternal.

Accept our sacrifice, grant us your blessing, Lord,
So that salvation comes for the life of the world.

By the pow’r of your Spirit, trans-form our hearts with fire
Accept our sacrifice, grant us your blessing, Lord,
So that salvation comes for the life of the world.

Be blessed now and forevermore,
Be blessed now and forevermore, our Lord and God.
