Eternal God,
you exalted Jesus Christ to rule over all things,
and have made us instruments of his kingdom:
by your Spirit empower us to love the unloved,
and to minister to all in need,
then at the last bring us to your eternal realm
where we may be welcomed into your everlasting joy
and may worship and adore you for ever:
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Lord Jesus Christ,
you reign among us by the preaching of your cross.
Forgive your people their offences that we,

may enter at last into your eternal paradise;
for you who live and reign

one God, now and for ever.
