Congregation: Sing, O heavens, for Yahweh has finished it! Shout for joy, O depths of the earth! Break into song, O mountains and forests and every tree! For Yahweh has redeemed Jacob and is glorified in Israel.

COMMITMENT
Leader: Loving and merciful God, hear the prayers of those who cry to you, and shine with the light of your presence on those who live in the shadow of death. Show us the path of your presence, that we may follow it in hope and be filled with resurrection joy; through Jesus Christ, our risen Savior.
