Our holy Father in Heaven
who gave us the new birth:
Praise to your name
for giving us your Spirit!
We thank you for eternal life
and for every blessing now.
In us is no good thing,
for sin destroyed our souls.
Create in us today, O God,
a new and wonderful work.
Bring many into your Kingdom;
make your glory known afar.
Draw us near, keep us strong
in Jesus Christ, our Lord
and only Savior. Amen.
