Cantor: 1. By the kindness and the love of God
All: By the kindness and the love of God, by the kindness and the love of God we have been saved, alleluia. Praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; for we have been saved, alleluia!
Cantor: 1. The grace of God has appeared, offering salvation to all, so that we reject godless ways, worldly desires, and live justly and devoutly in this age, as we await our blessed hope, the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Cantor: 2. In the baptism of new birth
All: In the baptism of new birth, in the baptism of new birth we are made heirs to the kingdom of God! Praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; for we have been saved, alleluia!
Cantor: 2. The grace of God calls us to be loyally subject to our land, its just laws, and do our part with integrity, not slandering or quarreling with anyone, being forbearing and showing courtesy to all; for we ourselves were once disobedient and far from the true faith, but the kindness and the love of God has saved us.
Cantor: 3. By the renewal of the Holy Spirit
All: By the renewal of the Holy Spirit, by the renewal of the Holy Spirit, we have God's peace; alleluia! Praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; for we have been saved, alleluia!
Cantor:  3. Take this instruction  to heart, that you would commit yourselves to God, doing only what is right. This truthful behavior serves all the people, and brings forth wisdom and peace, and free from quarreling and the distractions of the law, brave to call forth the sinner to new life.
Cantor: Justified by the grace of Christ Jesus
All: Justified by the grace of Christ Jesus, justified by the grace of Christ Jesus, we are set free; alleluia! Praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; for we have been saved, alleluia!
Cantor:  4. Be responsible in teaching, and choose leaders from among you irreproachable and grace-filled. Your priests should behave as members of a family, and your bishop be hospitable, self-controlled, steady, holy, and just. Your bishop must teach the authentic message, and guide all for the sake of God's truth.
Cantor: 5. By the kindness and the love of God
All: By the kindness and the love of God, by the kindness and the love of God we have been saved, alleluia. Praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; for we have been saved, alleluia!
Cantor: 5. So that the word of God can be proclaimed well, we all need be models of integrity and goodness. Your words must be true and holy, so that no opponent can find anything bad to say about you. Thus by constant fidelity and sound conduct, the doctrine of God our Savior is adorned for God's glory.
Cantor: We can count on the truth of this glory
All: We can count on the truth of this glory, we can count on the truth of this glory, our hope is sure, alleluia! Praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; praise God's mercy, alleluia; for we have been saved, alleluia!
