O God of light and truth, lead us by your word to your holy hill and to your dwelling.  Then we shall come to your altar with exceeding joy and praise you with the lyre, for you are God.  The wind cannot contain you, nor the fire consume you; the earth quake fails to encompass your power, for you are God.  Speak as you have spoken with your still small voice, and we shall hear and be your people.
