Leader: The Almighty One, God the Lord, speaks. He summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. People:
Our God is coming, but not in silence. Leader: He calls to the heavens above and to the earth below, that he may judge his people. People:
Our God is coming, but not in silence. Unison: He says: "Gather to me my faithful ones, you who have made covenant with me by sacrifice." We gather for our God is coming.
