Great Prayer of Thanksgiving
Leader: The Lord be with you.

Leader:  Lift up your hearts.

Leader:  Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
All:        It is right to give God thanks and praise.

Leader:        We join with the whole creation to lift our hearts in joyful praise, saying together

All:    Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might,
          Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
          Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

Leader:                We proclaim the mystery of faith, saying:

Christ has risen.
Christ will come again.

Hear us as we pray boldly with the words that He taught us as we say together:
Our Father…Amen.
