Praise him, all beneath the skies;

Prostrate lying, suff’ring, dying

Now in glory he does rise.
And with him we also rise
To the glory of God our Father
4 )Man’s work failing, Christ’s availing;
He is all our righteousness.
He, our Savior, has forever
Set us free from dire distress.
Through his merit, we inherit
Light, peace, and happiness.

5 ) Sin’s bonds severed, we’re delivered,
Christ has bruised the serpent’s head;
Death no longer is the stronger,
Hell itself is captive-led.
Christ has risen from death’s prison,
O’er the tomb his light he shed.
6 ) For His favor, praise forever,
Unto God the Father sing;
Praise the Savior, praise him ever,
Son of God, our Lord and King.
7 )Praise the Spirit, through Christ’s merit,
For he does salvation bring.
With all the saints and angels
Your highest praises we’ll forever sing

After the Lord's prayer
prayer:
Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ!
This reminds us of the evil and sin that surrounds us and tempts us from within, while at the same time reminds us to have joyful hope in the Lord's divine promise of his eager return to bring us home to live forever with him, the Father. and the Holy Spirit, and all the angels and saints in divine JOY!
