Gospel acclamation for the second Sunday in
Lent
(Gal. 6:14)
(Gal. 6:14)
Exalted be your Name,
O God of All,
Protector on the path
Of great and small;
Great God of Wonders, hear
Our grateful call;
How blesséd are your deeds,
O God of All.
Beneath the desert stars,
A vision fair:
To Sarah, Abraham,
A promised heir,
A blessing to all lands
You promise there,
O God of Covenant,
O God of Care.
Exalted be your Name,
O God Most High,
Who hears sad Hagar's call,
Her thirsting cry;
Who saves young Ishmael
From desert dry,
And leads them to the spring,
O Adonai.
To land of fig and vine,
From desert flight,
The people Israel
Move from the height
And in your presence walk,
O Cloud By Light,
And in your presence tent,
O Fire By Night.
Into the land between,
To wild unknown,
This people journeys now,
But not alone,
For you are in our midst,
O Shading Stone;
You lead us to the spring,
O El Elyon.
Exalted be your Name,
O God of All,
Whose blessings manifold
Rain down on all;
May we a blessing be
With love for all,
And you, within each heart,
Be All in All.
