Let us come into the Divine presence with thanksgiving; Let us make a joyful noise to God with songs of praise! It is good to give you thanks, O God; To sing praises to your name, O Most High; For you, O God, Have made us glad by your work: At the work of your hands, we sing for joy.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
