All: It is right and just.

One: Truly it is right and just to glorify you, bless you, praise you, adore you, and give you thanks, O Maker of all things, visible and invisible. The highest heavens and all its powers praise you; the sun, the moon, and all the stars; the earth, the seas, and all that is in them, the heavenly Jerusalem and the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven; the angels, archangels, and heavenly hosts all sing, praising your majestic glory with triumphant hymns, with never ending voices, and with acclamations.

All: It is right and just.

One: With them and with all Creation we cry out and proclaim:

All (thrice): Holy God. Holy Mighty. Holy Immortal. Have mercy on us.

One: Go in peace, brothers and sisters, live in peace with Creation... And may the blessing of the Most Holy Trinity accompany you: The Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the one God, to whom be glory, for ever.

All: Amen.
