    My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my savior, for he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away. He, remembering his mercy, hath holpen his servant Israel as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed forever. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. -Luke 1:46-55

Leader: That the Kingdom might come, the world might believe, the powerful might stumble and the humble raise, Christ is coming. People: Christ is coming to make all things new. Leader: Within us, without us, among us, before us, in this place, in every place, for this time, for all time, Christ is coming. People: Christ is coming to make all things new. Leader: The day of the Lord draws nigh. People: Prepare the way of the Lord!

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for Thine is the Kingdom and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
