But you are a chosen race, a kingdom of priests, a holy nation, a people to be a personal
possession to sing the praises of God who called you out of the darkness into his
wonderful light. Once you were a non-people and now you are the People of
God; once you were outside his pity; now you have received pity. |

In His Holy Name We Put Our Trust

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear him,* on those who wait upon
his love,
To pluck their lives from death,* and to feed them in time of famine.
Our soul waits for the LORD;* he is our help and our shield.
Indeed, our heart rejoices in him,* for in his holy Name we put our trust.
Let your loving-kindness, O LORD, be upon us,* as we have put our trust in you. |

forever and ever. Amen. |

Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.† |
