Eternal God, Maker

You formed us from the dust of the earth,
and by your breath you gave us life.

We glorify you.
Jesus Christ,
the resurrection and the life:

You tasted death for all humanity,
and by rising from the grave
you opened the way to eternal life.

We praise you.
Holy Spirit,
author and giver of life:

You are the comforter of all who sorrow,
our sure confidence
and everlasting hope.

We worship you.

To you, O blessed Trinity,
Be glory and honor, forever and ever.

Amen.

-From the Book of Common Worship
