hallowed be thy name;
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 trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen.

but the stone was rolled away, and
Jesus met her in the gloom.

Old Testament Canticle
Old Testament Canticle (Isaiah 2:2–5)
In the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared on the summit of mountains.
And it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will flow to it.
And many peoples will hurry and say: "Come and let us ascend to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob."
"And he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths."
For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
And he will judge the nations and rebuke many peoples.
And they will turn their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and they will no longer train for war.
O house of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited and accomplished the redemption of his people.

Salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us.
To show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
the oath which he swore to our father Abraham, that he would grant to us,
that being freed from the hand of our enemies, we might serve him without fear,
in holiness and justice before him, throughout all our days.
And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways.
To give knowledge of salvation to his people, for the remission of their sins,
through the compassionate mercy of our God, by which the Rising Sun has visited us from on high,
to illuminate those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet in the way of peace.
