PREFACE
Cel : The Lord be with you .
All : And with your spirit . Cel : Lift up your hearts . All : We lift them up to the Lord . Cel : Let us give thanks to the Lord our God . All : It is right and just .
Cel : It is truly right and just , our duty and our salvation , always and everywhere to give you thanks , Lord , Holy Father , almighty and eternal God , through Christ our Lord .
In him the hope of the blessed resurrection has dawned , that those saddened by the certainty of dying might be consoled by the promise of immortality to come . Indeed for your faithful , Lord , life is not changed not ended , and , when this early dwelling turns to dust , an eternal dwelling is made ready for them in heaven .
And so , with all the Angels and Archangels , with Thrones and Dominions , and with all the hosts and Powers of heaven , we sing the hymn of your glory . And without end we acclaim :
All : Holy , Holy , Holy Lord God of hosts . Heaven and earth are full of your glory . Hosanna in the highest . Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord . Hosanna in the highest .
