Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything

in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.
Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.
Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.

Let’s drink from the cup.
