HOPE IN THE NAME OF JESUS

GRANT US, LORD, TO HOPE IN THE NAME OF JESUS
THE BEGINNING OF ALL CREATION;
OPEN THE EYES OF OUR HEARTS TO KNOW YOU
THAT YOU ALONE ARE THE “HIGHEST IN THE HIGHEST”
YOU REMAIN HOLY AMONG THE HOLY

YOU HUMBLE THE HAUGHTY AND
DESTROY THE CONCEITS OF NATIONS
LIFTING UP THE HUMBLE AND
HUMBLING THE EXALTED
YOU ARE THE HELPER OF THOSE IN DANGER,
THE SAVIOR OF THOSE IN DESPAIR
THE CREATOR AND OBSERVER OF ALL THE SPIRIT

THROUGH JESUS CHRIST YOUR BELOVED SON,
YOU HAVE TAUGHT US,
SANTIFIED US AND GIVEN US HONOR.
BE OUR HELPER AND PROTECTOR
SAVE THOSE OF US WHO ARE AFFLICTED
HAVE MERCY ON THE HUMBLE;
RAISE THE FALLEN,
SHOW YOUR SELF TO THOSE IN NEED
LET ALL THE NATIONS KNOW
THAT YOU ALONE ARE GOD
AND THAT JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR SERVANT
AND THAT WE ARE YOUR PEOPLE,
THE SHEEP OF YOUR PASTURE

AMEN
