O holy God of love, Long ago, in eternity past, You planned great good for Your people.

Lord God, Revealer of divine mystery, I give You praise, as the Creator of all things, that You kept Your plan hidden in past ages. I give You thanks that Your shrouded mystery has now been revealed.

O God, Father of the Lord Jesus Christ and Sender of the Holy Spirit, I praise You as the Triune God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Spirit. You have always lived in community.
