“Blessing and honor and glory and power
belong to the one sitting on the throne
and to the Lamb forever and ever.”

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread

As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen

O LORD, Son of Man, the First and the Last,
We bring our evening sacrifice of praise to you.

As we pray for all corners of our world
To know of You.
Amen.
