Additional Prayers

Optional prayer of praise
Triune God of glory,
we marvel at the splendor
and majesty of Jesus,
whom saints and angels,
priests and prophets worship as Lord.
We marvel that this Lord
set his face toward Jerusalem
and chose the way of suffering and death.
We marvel that this way
of suffering and death
would become, for us,
the way of life and hope.
Oh, the depths of the riches
of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How marvelous are your ways, O Lord,
surpassing all human understanding.
We worship and glorify you,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

2 In splendor and majesty
your Word was revealed,
the hope of Israel,
transfigured in glory.
In splendor and majesty
he set his face toward Jerusalem,
choosing the way of suffering and death
that would be majestically transfigured
into the way of life and hope.
