TOBIT 13:1-6
†
I
Blessed be God who lives for ever,
For his reign endures throughout all ages!
II
By turns he punishes and pardons;
He sends men down to the depths of the underworld
And draws them up from supreme Destruction;
No one can escape his hand.
III
Declare his praise before the nations,
You who are sons of Israel!
For if he has scattered you among them,
There too he has shown you his greatness.
IV
Extol him before all the living;
He is our Master
And he is our God
And he is our Father
And he is God for ever and ever.
V
Though he punishes you for your iniquities,
He will take pity on you all;
He will gather you from every nation
Wherever you have been scattered.
VI
If you return to him,
With all your heart and all your soul,
Behaving honestly towards him,
Then he will return to you
And hide his face from you no longer.
†
GLORY BE
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
