Scripture Reading                Psalm 118    (One, All)    

Congregational Refrain         Stay with Me          (Taizé Community)

Stay with me, remain here with me,
watch and pray, watch and pray.

Let Israel now say:
“God’s love endures for ever.”

Let the house of Aaron say:
“God’s love endures for ever.”

Let those who fear God say
“God’s love endures for ever.”              Refrain

Open to me the gates of the temple,
that I may enter and give thanks to God.
This is the gate of God;
through it the righteous shall enter.

I thank you for you have answered me;
you have become my salvation.
The stone which the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone.

This is God’s doing, marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day that God has made,
let us rejoice and be glad in it.       Refrain

Save us, O God, we pray;
God, we pray, let us succeed.

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of God.
We bless you from the house of God.

God, our God, has given us light;
with palm branches in hand let us march to the altar.

You are my God, and I will thank you;
you are my God, and I will extol you.    Refrain
