Invocation.

O thou, who sittest on the highest throne,
Whose power and might encircle all we see,
Whose love and mercy to us have been shown,
We lift our voices in sweet harmony,
To praise thy name, O Lord, for all thy grace,
For all the blessings thou hast freely given,
And in thy presence, find a resting place,
And in thy love, forever live in heaven.
