Leader: O give thanks to God, for the Creator is good;
People: We give thanks to You, who are the Source of Love; whose Light shines forth through the universe!
Leader: God’s steadfast love endures forever.
People: Come, awaken our hearts that we might do your work; for without You, we can do nothing. It is your love that loves through us.
Leader: Let the redeemed say so, those redeemed from trouble!
People: Fear cannot live where love, grace, and gentleness abide.
Leader: Enter into the Great Silence, where you may hear the voice of the Beloved, who satisfies the hungry soul, and quenches the thirsty with streams of loving water.
People: We attune ourselves to the small still Voice within, we stay true to our heart’s Center.
Leader: The truth is written on the scrolls of your heart, that the Beloved dwells therein. O people of the Light, Awaken to the knowledge that lives within you! Do you not know your destiny to be a light unto the world, a bearer of peace and harmony?
People: Creator God, we let your light shine through us!
