Glory to the Father,    and to the Son, And to the Holy Spirit. Even with darkness sealing us in,    We breathe Your name, And through all the days that follow so fast,    We trust in You; Endless Your grace, O endless Your grace,    Beyond all mortal dream. Both now and forever,    And unto ages and ages, Amen
