Refrain:

All   The Spirit of the Father,

who raised Christ Jesus from the dead,

gives life to the people of God.

1    The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus  

has set us free from the law of sin and death.

2    All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God;  

for we have received the Spirit that enables us to cry, ‘Abba, Father’.

3    The Spirit himself bears witness that we are children of God  

and if God’s children, then heirs of God;

4    If heirs of God, then fellow-heirs with Christ;  

since we suffer with him now, that we may be glorified with him.

5    These sufferings that we now endure  

are not worth comparing to the glory that shall be revealed.

6    For the creation waits with eager longing  

for the revealing of the children of God.

Romans 8.2,14,15b-19

All   Glory to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit;

as it was in the beginning is now

and shall be for ever. Amen.

All   The Spirit of the Father,

who raised Christ Jesus from the dead,

gives life to the people of God.
