Bright Friday

Almighty and everlasting God, in the paschal mystery you have established with all humanity the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s body may show forth in their lives the faith they profess with their lips; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
(From the Gregorian Sacramentary)

1 Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
   sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
   tell of his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
   his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
   he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
   but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
   strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Psalm 96 – English Standard Version
