Benediction
(based on Revelation 1:4-8)
Grace to you and peace
from him who is and who was and who is to come,
and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness,
the firstborn of the dead,
and the ruler of the kings of
the earth.
To him
who loves us
and freed
us from our sins by his blood,
and made
us to be a kingdom,
priests
serving his God and Father,
to him be
glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Look! He is coming with the clouds;
every eye will see him, even those who pierced him;
and on his account all the tribes of the earth will wail.
So it is to be. Amen.
“I am the
Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God,
who is
and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
Go in
peace.
Amen.
