All
Join us, Queen of the Rosary, as we offer praise to our Father

Right Side
Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
worship the Lord in holy splendor.

Left Side
The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord, over mighty waters.
The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

Right Side
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the voice of the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
and Sirion like a wild young ox.

Left Side
The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

Right Side
The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl,
and strips the forest bare;
and in his temple all say, "Glory!"

Left Side
The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.
May the Lord give strength to his people!
May the Lord bless his people with peace!

All
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

All
Join us, Queen of the Rosary, as we offer praise to our Father

Reading
Isaiah 61:10

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
