Prayer of Invocation
Our request is as old as time and as fresh as this new moment in your creation of time;
Come today, O Lord, come today, we pray! Let us see your face and then may our faces shine with your glory.
With the line of your faithful servants,
Abraham, Moses, Rahab, Ruth, David, Elijah, John the Baptizer, Paul, and now we ourselves ask,
Come today, O Lord, come today, we pray! Let us see your face and then may our faces shine with your glory.
As we bring our sacrifices of praise and worship into your holy place, hear our voices.
Come today, O Lord, come today, we pray! Let us see your face and then may our faces shine with your glory. Amen and Amen.
