It is truly good and right,
with all the powers of our heart and mind,
to praise you Father
and your Only-begotten Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Dear Father, by your wondrous condescension
of loving-kindness toward us your servants,
you gave up your Son.
Dear Jesus you paid the debt of Adam for us
to the eternal Father
by your blood poured fourth
in loving-kindness.
You cleared away the darkness of sin
by your magnificent and radiant resurrection.
You broke the bonds of death
and rose from the grave as a Conqueror.
You reconciled heaven and earth.
Our life had no hope of eternal happiness
before you redeemed us.
Your resurrection has washed away our sins,
restored our innocence and brought us joy.
How inestimable is the tenderness of your love!
