Holy God, through the generations you
have spoken to us. You have sent voices crying out in the wilderness. You have
sent the words of an overjoyed new father and an expectant mother. You have sent the assurance of a condemned
man on a cross. Quiet in us any voice but your own that, by the power of your
Spirit, we might hear the words you speak to us today. Amen.
*Chorus “Glory Be to the Father” #70
Glory
be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and
