Lyrics

Magnified and sanctified be the great Name of God in the world which he created according to his will.
May he establish his kingdom in your life and in your days, and in the lifetime of all his people:
Quickly and speedily may it come, and let us say Amen. 
Blessed be God for ever!
Blessed, praised, and glorified, exalted, extolled, and honoured, magnified and lauded, be the Name of the Holy One;
blessed be God!
Though he be high above all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations which are uttered in the world,
and let us say Amen!
Blessed be God for ever!
May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life for us and for all people; let us say Amen!
Blessed be God for ever!
